My recommendation would be for a Dynadish5 for any type of portable application. It will run nicely on standard 12V power (your ethernet run will not be very long, so voltage drop isn’t the concern it is on fixed installations where you want 24V). You will have an ethernet jack out of the Dynadish which can be used to feed whatever your installation wants are (a switch with multiple ethernet outputs, a wireless access point, both). The Dynadish includes a built in Mikrotik router which will serve DHCP with NATing to a 192.168.88.xxx address if you use standard HamWAN programming suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have some 10 foot PBL Studio Light Stands which are good tripod stands.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As to maximizing data speeds, that is mostly a function of your signal levels to the sector panel you connect to. Longer distance shots are going to give you lower speeds. The Dynadish is a good compromise between maximum signal and portability. You can get smaller, lighter weight equipment, and you can get heavier, more difficult to set up and aim equipment.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Make sure you get the international, or “Rest Of World – ROW” version of the Dynadish5. The US version can’t get to HamWAN frequencies.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Carl, N7KUW<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> PSDR <psdr-bounces@hamwan.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>lionelhlvrsn@gmail.com<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, September 14, 2020 2:33 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Puget Sound Data Ring' <psdr@hamwan.org><br><b>Subject:</b> [HamWAN PSDR] Advice for parts for a portable setup<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Hello to the group!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>I am on Bainbridge Island, and I am looking into a portable setup to experiment with from different locations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>While there is a lot of useful gear info on the website and on this listserv, I want to make sure that I don’t end up getting something that doesn’t maximize data speeds or will be obsolete in a year.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>I am looking for advice for a complete portable system.
