Basic question, are the max ranges shown useful in determining feasibility for a ptp link between like devices?
For example, the SXTLite5 ac shows max range of 1.5km for AC and 4km for BGN as max ranges.
Can I assume that I will get rock solid connection up to those distance with like units in a point to point?
In other words am I using the chart in the right way?
Second question. Which devices are easiest to aim if all else being equal, the only factor to consider was an efficient effective setup?
Think one site fixed and one temporary that has to be used 3-4 times per year. Pole available but need to attach clamp etc and antenna and aim.
Which device(s) are easy to use, can quickly get a reasonably accurate aim to the fixed site, and have an easy way to know if your on the right track?
Third question. Can you mix and match device types , in other words maximize the advantages of one antenna best suited for a secure fixed site and then dealing with a temp site, as noted above, easy to aim and setup to the fixed site?
