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>
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>
