The connection between rim (ap24-2) and base has a low SNR of 16/19 dB, but has been up for 22 hours, at a lower tx/rxrate than the connection from near to base. This is probably low because the yagi on the rim tower is connecting to the back of the 180 deg yagi at the base trailer.
eanth@sodar has been a bit problematic. Gary re-oriented it yesterday, and I think it has been better since then. The SNR looks good.
To see if it improves things I just enabled the internal patch antenna on the ap24, which is pointing at the rim tower. I'll wait until the radios re-associate and see what the signal levels are. Both the internal patch and the eternal 180 degree yagi are access points for the SSID of ISFSext. I am also curious to see if that works.
