Thanks again Thorn. I FULLY appreciate what you are saying. The gear that my best friend has should give us a more commplete picture of true I/O signal strength at both ends once the gear is in place. Who knows? Once we get everything set up, we might even find it improves matters to dial the power DOWN from the stock 28 dBi. If we can do this and still maintain the same throughput even during a downpour, it could minimize the possibility of "sharing" the signal with any wireless neighbors at the other end of the valley.

I believe that we all like the idea of having more control over a piece of gear than just what comes OEM. If we didn't, then we wouldn't soup-up our cars, add graphic equalizers to our stereos or buy third party security software for our computers.

I always liked what my teacher said when I was getting my Handgun Instructor Certification.

"A well placed shot from even a 22 is much more effective than a miss with a 44 Magnum."
