New install on Squak Mountain Issaquah and unable to find any signal on Tiger Mountain. I’m 3.5 miles away west and a little north of the tower on Tiger. Clear line of sight. Please validate with the tower picture attached. Installed the following: MikroTik mANT30 PA parabolic dish antenna 5GHz 30dBi MTAD-5G-30D3-PA Mikrotik BaseBox 5 RB912UAG-5HPnD-OUT 5GHz Outdoor Wireless AP Gigabit USB OSL4 Questions: Q1) Is the antenna tower on the right in the picture the right site? Q2) Is the dish assembled correctly? See picture. Q3) I was watching the signal strength on the routerboard while running "/interface wireless scan 0”. Nothing showed up on the terminal session and no signal strength LED’s lit up. I moved it left to right and adjusted azimuth each time I stopped. Q4) How long should you wait to acquire the signal between each time you move it? Q5) Is there anything like the signal strength tones aiming a DirecTV dish? Q6) Any other ideas.

Have you tried /interface wireless scan 0 It should show Hamwan results unless you have an error in your config. Most people are jealous of your Line of sight. This setup is going to work great for you. You are almost there. Dylan Ambauen KI7SBI On Sat, Sep 11, 2021, 16:58 Paul Sundquist <psundquist@foxhill.org> wrote:

Thanks for the encouragement! I may have some tree issues from my roof to hit Tiger. The picture is from my neighbor who has a great view. I thought it would be an easier starting point. I was running the scan command and received no results. Going to try Haystack next, seems like I have a good view of it from my roof.

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I can verify that S3.ETiger is running and has 5 clients connected to it. I suspect you might be aiming at the towers on west tiger (47.508761°, -121.984954°) and (47.504856°, -121.971615°) whereas the HamWAN site is on east tiger (47.488172°, -121.946733°). From your picture, you should see a 3rd tower or cluster of towers further towards the right, if that is the case. Google Earth is a good tool to get a sense of the visuals, since it lets you tilt the world. --Bart On 9/11/2021 4:58 PM, Paul Sundquist wrote:

Haystack was my plan B when I ordered the equipment. I spent a lot of time looking towards Haystack with my binoculars and may have a clear shot from my roof. Visually it appears I can see the gap where Index, WA is located. I can see a valley by observing the mountains on the north side. Further in the distance I can see a glaciated mountain - potentially Glacier Peak. Do you have the Haystack GPS coordinates? I’ll try aiming it at Haystack next. Thanks for your advise. Didn’t expect to learn so much about the mountains visible from my house with this endeavor. -Paul On Sat, Sep 11, 2021 at 10:57 PM Bart Kus <me@bartk.us> wrote:

SUCCESS! Connected to Haystack, sig -79, NF -121, and SNR 42-44 during my first adjustment from 25 miles away. Thanks everyone for all for your help. I was surprised by the simplicity and how quick it was to aim. Glad the precision adjuster was on the recommended hardware since it make adjusting easy.

You are correct, I wrongly assumed the site was located in West Tiger. I attached a elevation plot from my house to east Tiger and some mountain might be in the way. BTW - I’m in a fringe area for the PNWDigital DMR East Tiger repeater. I’ll try the tilting the world trick on google earth, didn’t think of that. Left side of plot is east Tiger and I’m on the right side. On Sat, Sep 11, 2021 at 10:54 PM Bart Kus <me@bartk.us> wrote:
