Hello,

Anybody here used products from the Motorola Starpoint familiy? At
which distance (point A-------B) you used them, frequency, and
finally what is your opinion about those products?


Thanks,

Be careful on using this used Starpoint equipment...isn't cheap now but, it
is not licensable in the US any more and is now in the PCS cellular bands.

I always had hopes of converting them to the 2.4 GHz ham band but never have
done it yet...

The erumpent was quite reliable.

Good stuff.

But that is beside the point. You need to have someone determine the
characteristics of your intended path. Then decide what frequency bands will
be appropriate. Then find out what frequencies are already in use along that
path. Higher frequency = smaller dish = lower noise = less ultimate range.
Other factors along the path affect propagation at various frequencies and
thus path reliability. Paths are usually 200 mi or less depending on many
factors.

Better to lease whatever bandwidth you need from existing carriers. Unless
none is available.

Unless you are a Ham DX hound (I don't think mux is legal though)

Starpoint was available in various configurations and frequencies and power
levels. Because microwave is largely dependant on line-of-site, locations
of the end points is everything. Better to know what you need before coming
up short on and have to buy a needed item at the sellers price. My
experience on it is 10 years old though. It is usually pulled from service
because of rule changes, site costs, or replaced by fiber for much more
bandwidth. Some are still in place for backup in case of phone company T1
failure.
