Re: Site survey tools?

piece of advise, do your testing with what you actually plan on using. No point in testdriving a Pinto if what you need to buy is a truck.

I agree with Chele about test what you are going to use, but for general coverage knowledge I used a 300mW Demarc (even though I hate to promote them with the service I got from them. The card is actually the only good I have gotten from the $579 AP I bought from them) card with an "impath.com" flag yagi on my laptop and got pretty good results (33.97dB total). I figured if I could get a connection in front of the house with that, it should generally be an easy link from the roof with even better equipment.

I you don't like them, then have you looked at www.zcomax.com. They have 300mW AP's and 300mWCPE's

The Demarc CPE your talking about is pretty much a WRAP board, Star OS (modified) and a 300mw card. All three solid and trusted by WISPs around the globe. Are you sure it's not you? I've dealt with Tony for almost 3 years. Demarc has had some good days and some bad (bad meaning too busy and the phone never gets picked up) TOny tells me their big building is almost built, and then 3-5 more people will come on board. I have always liked the products....so I will stand by and defend my manufacturer I can only see things getting better there in the future.
