getting ready to put 8 additional AC45 sectors with shields on 600 ft tower, and replacing switches with modified Netonix switches to make them DC :)

just curious, what's your channel plan on this 8x rig?

Channel plan is to find least noisy channel to operate on in any given direction :) I run 10 mhz channels so it's not real hard to avoid self interference, especially with rfarmor shielding. This will be in addition to the 10 sectors and 4 backhauls that are already up there. There will be two 14 port netonix switches converted to DC and pretty much all the ports will be used.

curious how you like those AC45. I have a couple AC60 and am THOROUGHLY disappointed. It's like it's a 45 degree sector with some extra noise catching area at the edges :/

I like the 45s, they are really quiet.

Here is screenshot of one of the modified switches....DC power baby! Port 1 is powering mimosa, port 11 radwin and the rest are ubiquiti rockets.

Hi

How are you getting your Radwin to run at Gigabit? I have a number of 2000Cs and they all seem to run at 100Mbit/sec although I understand they can run at Gigabit (somehow!) - not sure if it is to do with hardware versions?
