In the next month I am hoping to put my new Bullet M5s on my 25 mile link for a test. This is a 25 mile link with a 3' solid dish at each end. It is currently running Trango Link-45s. I will be running a speed test on those before I disconnect them so it will be a good comparison. The Bullet M5s should put the Trangos to shame. I will let everyone know what the results are and post some pictures.

On a 46 miles LOS link with 2.5' antennas, 10MHz channel, it's pushing quite well 18 ~ 20Mbps aggregate, that is pretty good for single polarization.:icon_surprised:

Please post the results of your Trango replacement testing. We have the almost identical configuration. We use the Trango Link 45s at 18 miles on our longest link.

How do you enable the acks to allow 46miles, I only see the ability to change the slide to allow 17miles max? What am I missing?

I have noticed this probelm as well when trying to use a 40Mhz channel. If you change it to 20 or less you will be able to set it higher. I posted this probelm but have not gotten a response. We just did a 32 mile link.

Sorry to get everone's hopes up and not be able to make it happen right away. We had bought the M5s for a 3 mile link to hook up to a new ISP that got called off so I figured I would have equipment laying around and I could set up a Saturday to try it out. Well, ISP called back 2 days later and said they were going to upgrade their equipment to support us without charging us $800 more. So, the M5s are now providing us with our pipe to the internet. Still might be able to pull it off but my life just got really busy and this test isn't very high on the priority list.

Hi,
What kind of signals do you have? What kind of TCP throughput have you been getting? I'm upgrading a 35 mile link and I'm hoping to get 50 mbps throughput, but I will have access to dual polarization and 20 mhz channels.
Thanks
Joe
