are you just concerned about reading -88 dBm noise level on the analyzer?
I wouldn't be surprised to read -88 dBm from a high gain antenna.
Do you think that is abnormal or is there some other problem?

Hi Mark,

I *am* a bit concerned with the -88dBm noise level, but, I do agree
with you that I have a high-gain antenna and high power transmitter
with decent receive sensitivity.

What concerns me most about the -88dBm noise is that some of my
neighbors, using the exact same equipment and connected to the
same WISP AP, have 9 dB less noise!

Since every 3dB is doubling (or halving), I have 8 times the noise
that they have! That's mostly what concerns me.

It would be nice if others on a.h.r listed their noise figures, so,
we could take an informal survey.

My modem (actually it's a tranceiver, but, it's just like a modem)
is where I measure all this noise.

Can you guys get noise figures out of a cable or DSL modem?
