I Manually set both ends to work at 24mbps, and set the ack on both ends to 410.
CCQ was 98/98%
24/24MB
P Throughput 18146 kbps

Bandwidth test on vertical radio 12.8 Mbps Recieve.

Bandwidth test on the same radio Sending only 13.0 Mbps.

Bandwidth test Both 2.0 Mbps/2.1 Mbps

Bandwidth test on the Horizontal radio.

Bandwidth test Both 2.1 Mbps/2.0 Mbps

Ill post the config files soon.
Thanks for the help ill post some images of the setup as well.
Next step is change the R5H for R5HN or XR5.

Well neighbour ( ye were lucky on Sunday in the replay but we (Limk) will win next match <g> )
We were lucky on Sunday in the replay all right (skin of our teeth) Cork should have won it on the day i thought they were a better team.

I would like to help out if i can as i will shortly have to install a 70Km+ link,
You running a link from Limerick to Kerry

Have you tried v3.30, and TCP instead of UDP for bandwidth testing,
Tried both and same results around 2.5Kbps (both)

Have you spaced the parabolic far enough away from other stuff on the mast ( AP's etc, PTP's, etc)
Ya we are at the tip top of the mast so nothing near (there is a good Front to Back on the Antenna's ≥ 43 dB)

Can you post your freq usage scan, this should reveal how much of the spectrum is used at each location,

I have done a scan and picked the cleanest Channels signal to noise on the both links hangs around 30dBm.

We are going to start with the basic stuff of changing pigtails and radios hopefully that will show something.

Do you test link with enable nstreme?

Hello, I have a similar setup, 40 chilometers, but with XR5 in turbo mode frequency.
With the H-POL I have 40 Mbit of TCP (one-way) troughtput.
With the V-POL I have 30 Mbit of TCP (one-way) troughtput.
The antenna is the same, but I have 4 XR5 running in 4 RB411AH and balanced with OSPF.
100% ccq over the H-POL and 90-95% over the V-POL.

WHOA! How did you get that 3d persepective view in RadioMobile? I use that every day and have never seen that! NICE!

I can see now from 3d graph - 10/20 Kms test cannot be done unless you use a boat <g> or go straight across the bay,

Let us know how the Xr5 compare to the R5h,

Also i use nstreame and i find it good and a lot of positives by other posters on the forum using ptp links,

And as you are transmitting over water, perhaps a read of this topic might be of interest ?

must call down, ky is a lovely county on a good day,

Hi Just click on Picture properties (14th icon from the left ) then 3D on the right .Like all things in RM took me a while to figure it out.

My network names keep ending up in the sky on the 3d picture. How do i make that work like yours, where the link line is actually where the signal is going, not a mile above the land?

Do you mind posting the settings you used in the 3d picture window so I can try to duplicate your nice one, mine keeps looking funny/

Thank you!

Don't come wearing the Lim colors you might be tied to a 100Meter mast.

what can i say - so close and yet so far ?
Ya maybe next year was a close game though.

Looking at your 3d map, not sure if this revelant but i noticed the rx sensitivity 0.75uv / -109.5dbm ?
thought radio cards went down to -95 +/- , and not -109.5, also the tx power of r5h @54 is 20dbm, sensitivity -82dbm @54,i would also allow 2db cable/line loss,
I just used that to show the LOS and vast expanse of water.

Along with Xr5 and turbo,is nstreame used, what frequencies used ( you are using 5180-5745 ),
Have you tried reducing the frequency spacing as the antenna bandwidth spec is quoted 5.4-5.7?
What was the signal levels at 5180 and at 5745.
We Swapped the radios for R52HN's and the best frequency's (most stable) are 5700 and 51800 not that we have much choice because most are taken up on the mast.

Here are the results not perfect but much better than before.



I don't use radio mobile - can you send on link to download , I use http://www.ligowave.com/linkcalc/
just register free to use, i must compare both,

Here ya go http://www.g3tvu.co.uk/Radio_Mobile.htm
I use the ligowave calc as well nice software.



n21roadie

(At a guess was the client -76dbm the 5180, and -62 the 5700)

Yes
