<font size="-1" class=""><font face="Arial" class="">I am going to attempt to
construct a radio linking me with the node on Larch Mountain. <br class="">
Is the radio there capable of MIMO operation? I can get an older
Microtik Metal 5SHPn but I know it's not MIMO capable.<br class="">
I am located 13 miles directly West of Larch mountain, pretty
well line of sight.<br class="">

Recommendations or advice?<br class="">
