It shouldn't require telneting to 24.96.165.230 to post a message, but the SMTP path is broken. Every post I try to make comes back as a bounce. Please fix this. I have posted to FB about this before. T

Turn the rate down in speed to the lower levels and you'll see S/N 
improve. Slower rates = more S/N.

Just a dipole will do. Coverage from 3-degrees (horizon) to 87 degrees 
(nearly vertical). It's going to bounce off of everything anyway.

I'd strongly suggest investing in Ubiquiti _3 (M3, etc.) series export 
gear. We don't share the band with anyone except the USAF, which means 
we have a much better S/N than 2.4 GHz, many channels (3300 - 3500 MHz), 
and we are the only user of that spectrum at almost any site.

90Mbit/s PtP, 30 Mbit/s in mesh. No "priority" games, no need for 8W 
amps unless you just need to.
