Thank you for your concerns, but I can honestly say I have access to some of the best machine tools in the world.
You're welcome, and I've blessed every last soothsayer's soul that has told me exactly that! Nevertheless, I suppose your ... response merits a reply.
yeah, 'neat' factor, let's me play with things I also do at work.
So using a USB device with an external connector and a biquad affixed to a DVB dish is considered production gear now-a-days? That's quite a configuration -- I was never able to reproduce such wonderful results as I was with well-manufactured equipment, but I'm certainly open to criticism of my methodology. Provide photos and testing results, there are others reading this list that would be most interested, certainly not excluding myself.
Thanks for making the assumption that you are the expert and everyone else is irresponsible. Oh yeah, no linear amps for you?
Some day, you will experience someone doing exactly what it was you described and successfully walking/stomping all over your well-engineered wireless network(s). Perhaps then, you'll reconsider this post as a stark reminder of what happens when someone's best intentions really should never have been [inappropriately] rendered as a personal attack. Certainly, if you're 'in the business', you must know that you won't always be the recipient of a friendly suggestion. Regardless, I have personally been through this experience several times. One decent incident still comes to mind. There were a couple of guys who wanted a PtP wireless link between their houses. Somehow, they managed to get enough height and select the right frequency/polarity to intermittently wash out my signal. Unfortunately, I wasn't in a position that I could make changes to my own gear (or not without coordinating with several other providers) so I finally tracked down the problem and traded two parabolic grid-dish antennas bought from my own pocket, some friendly networking suggestions, and proper cabling/connectors/sealing tapes/mastic for their 500mW amps and a promise that they would properly disable the aforementioned setup and the problem disappeared. Both links still operate today, in excess of 5 years later, save for upgraded radios by the two perpetrators.
g.day
g.luck!
