It appears you're connected to the Baldi site. That's probably the
only site remaining that still doesn't have MIMO (2-chainz) modems.
It only provides service with horizontally polarized signals.<br>
<br>
It looks like your modem's setup to receive HPol on ch1. HamWAN
typically suggests HPol be wired to ch0, and all our network gear
follows that standard:<br>

<a href="http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html" target="_blank">http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html</a><br>
<br>
It makes troubleshooting easier when there's a clear
polarity-to-chain mapping.<br>
<br>
I'm also not sure why we're still running that sector at 5MHz
bandwidth, it should be 10MHz. I've gone ahead and updated the
sector's config to be 10MHz. This should provide you with a bit
more speed, at the cost of 3dB of signal power, which you can afford
given your -66dBm link.<br>
<br>
Feel free to run some bandwidth-tests to <a href="http://Baldi-S3.hamwan.net" target="_blank">Baldi-S3.hamwan.net</a>
(44.24.240.197) to confirm performance.<br>
<br>
PS: The "tx-signal-strength-ch0" is reported back to you from
Baldi-S3 (how well it hears you), since Baldi-S3 only has a ch0,
even though that's not your tx-ch0, but rather your tx-ch1 that it's
measuring. You see how confusing things get when polarities are
flipped? :)<br>
