There are substantial hills between you and all existing HamWAN sites. Further, I didn't see line of sight to any of the commercial radio sites I have in my database, so I don't know that HamWAN could make its way to you even after future expansion.</div><div><br></div><div>Tom</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 30, 2017 at 6:24 PM, Daryl Staehle <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dstaehle@hotmail.com" target="_blank">dstaehle@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">That wont work; that radio's wireless chip can't go to channel widths less than 20 MHz, and HamWAN uses 10 MHz channels. Generally, you're safe to use mikrotik gear that is not
802.11 AC, unless it has the QCA9892 chip (that's AC and it can do 5/10 MHz channels).<u></u><u></u></p>
