[HamWAN PSDR] Updated Client Hardware Recommendations?

[Edward Cukiernan]

Does anyone have experience with the RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM
<https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM-NetMetal-integrated-802-11ac/dp/B00N9ZIA5A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477628043&sr=8-1&keywords=RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM>
modem? I was hoping to ask for configuration advice as I tried to set up a
new client node.

In particular I am getting an "unsupported channel" error when I tried to
enter the 6 hamwan channels. From poking around in the UI it looks like the
part it is complaining about is using a 5 or 10 mhz width. (I'm inferring
this because the UI is happy enough for me to set a 20mhz width.)

If you are curious how I chose that one it is because I saw it mentioned in
a previous thread as being proposed to add to Baldi.


Thanks,
--Eddie
