Anyone have spec’s on the range of the latest Karrier One drop? For example I’m in a commercial area 14 floors up and would be on balcony facing multiple office buidlings and about 1.5 miles from a very busy town center. Thanks in advance!

I’m on a 14th floor balcony with direct line of sight to Dulles international. Great Wingbits performance, until the LNA faulted and now waiting for the replacement that has a 4-8 week lead time. However, the GEODNET was barely making 80% due to the East blockage as mounted on my balcony, even though there is only one more floor above my balcony. So if you have a balcony and can’t reach above or very close to the top of one your building just get a WB200. GEODNET which I don’t recommend in a balcony situation especially with their latest litepapers and the particular situation of not having at minimum 10 degrees full scan (obviously depends on particular location) as they advertise, GEODNET you almost have to have a complete clear 360 to get all the satellites you can. Wingbits is more frequency related and also location to busy airports. But as far as mounting, here is how I mounted my MGW310 and also have a WB200 in a different hex, and wish I just bought another WB200. Specifically for the balcony situation and not being able to clear the top of the building. You can buy a wood board to gain height, and a longer mounting rod, I thing it was 11/16ths it don’t quote me on that, easy to get from Home Depot or wherever. I ended up buying heavier duty clamps to drill the the boards just because. But whatever you do, don’t bang, touch, or handle the unit by the antenna…at all. It will be unrepairable. If you hear the antenna rattling inside the fiberglass housing you might as well start at ticket. They are not durable to impact whether it’s shipping or your own handling.
