Hello guys!, I need a little help here. This is my setup.
On each side I have: one rb433, patch antenna (23dbi), 1m LMR 400 cable and SR5 running on 5300 MHz.
The thing is that the signal strength is too weak. According to my calculations I should be getting around -82 and the according sensibility woudl give me around 24Mbit to 36Mbit.
What can I do? do you think the antennas are not good enough?, do you think that SR5 hasnt enough juice for that distance
23dBi patch antennas are good till 10km
Which company flat panel antenna you have? I have experience that some company add +20% +30% more antenna gain in documentation but actually it is not so good.
How about 22 dBi grill antennas, both the grilled and the patch are hyperlinktech
I use 30dBi grids for 9km link with R52. Signal is -70 in turbo.
I use 27dBi parabolic antennas for 26km link with R52. Signal is -70.
not a very good LoS
You need a good Line of Sight (Frsnel zone) (there are online calculators for this) and I can suggest using dish antennas, for example 60 cm diameter.
