Short distance / high bandwidth p2p hardware?

Hi all -

I need to bridge only about 100 ft / 30m between two buildings, but would like a high-bandwidth link between the two. Would the SXT 5 ac 28 deg be a good option for this? In particular, will I be able to tune the power low enough for such short distance? Thanks.

Hi,

I recently set up a 35M link with 2x SXT5AC’s. With the output power set to the minimum allowed (-30) I was able to get a rx signal around -44. So not too bad.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that helps. I may be able to move things around and get somewhere between 40 and 50 m. What Rx/Tx signal would be in the “ideal” range?

You’re welcome. Personally I usually aim for the -50’s. But anything between -40 & -60 is likely OK.
