[HamWAN PSDR] Mikrotik DynaDish 5 + Beacon Hill

Fri Aug 23 10:17:57 PDT 2019

I wont say no… that said, I am off on a trip next Wednesday. So preference is to test and validate before then if timing allows 😊
(ill get an order in while im away so I can setup whats needed for a more permanent solution as soon as im back).

I've got one configured and ready to go, if you want to give it a try.

I've had better luck with https://www.streakwave.com<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.streakwave.com&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cbcac1232849b45728ed208d727eca98a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637021769719381929&sdata=MgzX02Pq7vCDTLmZQfIgaCthhRBPjblVVNryEChoxeI%3D&reserved=0> in terms of product availability.  They do require a bit of paperwork to get the international versions.

Im not tooo worried about stealth… ended up installing a 12ft lattice mast on the roof.

That said the price is right – so would be happy to get one and test it out (seems they are still pre-order only, at least on Baltic).

That .2 mile shot might be an interesting opportunity to try out a Mikrotik LDF 5 if you want a deployment that is a bit stealthier / looks more like a standard satellite TV setup.

Thanks for the confirmation Doug – much appreciated.

Yeah the international version is a tad hard to get here it seems… Baltic Networks stocks it – and its cheaper than amazon right now, but with shipping it wont get here before I head off on a trip… so its going to be a couple weeks till I can get it up it seems.  The one I ordered off amazon is going back today (advertised as international, opened the box and its -us).

I might actually order a couple… according to haywhatsthat, I have LOS to Cap Park (although trees might be an issue..), Haystack (although its 30miles), and Baldi (35miles…) as well as a 0.2mile clear shot to Beacon. Ill see what I can get connected to here 😊

Beacon is fully operational on all sectors.

The DynaDish is a great option particularly with your clear line of sight, but be sure you purchase the international version so that you can access the amateur frequencies we use on the sectors.

We may get back to you on the peering option...

Hi all,

So I just moved into a new place on Beacon Hill and looking setup a link to Hamwan. I have clear LOS to Beacon Hill apartments from my radio tower, where it looks like there might be some sectors… so 2 questions:

  1.  Are the sectors on Beacon Hill live? – the website indicates they might be under construction?
  2.  Mikrotik DynaDish 5 – its on the recommended hardware list (and would be my preference), but the spec sheet says it tops out at 5875MHz; while the config on the website shows use up to 5920 (with the lowest being 5880). So… datasheet wrong by chance? Or should I just be looking at using something else.

I have a hytera rd622i here that will probably be my next project.. so hoping to get it up online and use HamWAN as a backup link to PNW Digital’s servers [also have my own peering and a few other things here that I am happy to contribute to the cause if its wanted/needed - https://bgp.he.net/AS396388<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbgp.he.net%2FAS396388&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cbcac1232849b45728ed208d727eca98a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637021769719391934&sdata=gNqQ5UO20XBUoe7PvYVGnNfERh26b%2FHqhTWrnqLGaRw%3D&reserved=0>].

Thanks in advance,
