[HamWAN PSDR] Larch Mnt [N7DOD]

[Carl]

Scott,

The fact that you connected and had internet access says you were connected to a sector. Further, the frequency 5880 says you were connected to sector 3 (and that you were using an international version of the modem).

For your other node, did you have the scan list set correctly?  Also, your signal level on your Node-2 was only -85 which is pretty low. Is it possible you were just too far away (too weak a signal) for your Node-1 unit? And, I’m assuming you were not trying to use them both at the same time (from the same general location).

Today, I was able to connect my RB911G-5HPacD (Node-2) to the Larch Mnt site.  I setup the portable modem at the PUD Operation Center at 8600 NE 117th Avenue, Vancouver, Washington.  Here are the connection details:

 

channel: 5880/5/an
wireless-protolcol: nv2
tx-rate: 1.62Mbps-5MHz/15
ssid: HamWAN
radio-name:S3.Larch/K7WAN
signal-strength: -85dBm
noise-floor: -10dBm
current-distance: 21
last-ip: 44.24.244.1

 

I was able to connect, verify Internet using HamWAN, verify DNS, and verify NTP synchronization.  It started to rain heavy, so the fun was ended early than expected.

 

 

However, the RBLHGG-5acD (Node-1) would not locate any sector modems.  I verified it was the International version and updated to lastest software and firmware.  But did notice the WiFi Interfaces reported multiple unsupported channels and the following: 

 

  -- in scan-list does not contain valid channels
  -- empty scanlist

 

Does anyone know what is causing this problem?  If so, what is the fix.
