    If it's a pre-wired unit like the DynaDish 5, you can't change
    polarities.  Will just need to live with the confusion.<br>
    <br>
    That is pretty bad upload performance.  It could use some spectral
    analysis on the HamWAN side, and perhaps testing with another client
    on the same sector to find the cause.  I hope it wasn't caused by
    the 10MHz bandwidth change!<br>
    <br>
    I don't have time to address this right now, so hopefully someone
    else can step in.<br>
    <br>
    The download numbers look fine though.<br>

          <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> 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>
            <br>
            <a
href="http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html"
              target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">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"
              moz-do-not-send="true">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>
