The client nodes seem to be operating at 5.9 and 5.925 GHz, therefore you need to order the “international” AKA “Rest Of World”, AKA “non-US” version that extends to cover the ham band freq used by HamWan. This is true for any of the antennas sold that can be used for WiFi, such as the 5GHz MikroTik models. This is apparently why all of the US suppliers I checked have to special order the ROW version and quoted me 2-3 mos, and why we wound up going to a European reseller (you still have to select the correct non-US version when ordering from them as well).<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Stephen W9SK<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> PSDR <<a href="mailto:psdr-bounces@hamwan.org" target="_blank">psdr-bounces@hamwan.org</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jamie Owens<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, August 27, 2020 9:12 PM<br><b>To:</b> Puget Sound Data Ring <<a href="mailto:psdr@hamwan.org" target="_blank">psdr@hamwan.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [HamWAN PSDR] New Node - Guidance on buying hardware and feasibility of link from my QTH<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">This supplier has the antennas in stock, I got one this week <br><br><a href="https://www.ispsupplies.com/MikroTik-RouterBOARD-mANT30-PA" target="_blank">https://www.ispsupplies.com/MikroTik-RouterBOARD-mANT30-PA</a> <u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Thu, Aug 27, 2020 at 7:54 PM James Betteley <<a href="mailto:jabetteley@msn.com" target="_blank">jabetteley@msn.com</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:1pt solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0in 0in 0in 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt">Thank you to the group.
