RX Signal good, but Tx very poor

Thu Jul 12, 2007 4:49 pm

Hi. Anyone can help me with this problems. I have a link with 18 Km, that has a great signal on RX but a Poor TX signal. Does anyone know what is the problem ?

Your Signal Does not look good at all to me!!

signal-strength=-52dBm@6Mbps Too Strong
signal-to-noise=49dB Too Much Noise
tx-signal-strength=-84dBm Too Low
tx-ccq=48% Poor
rx-ccq=45% Even Poorer

Change your channel, or post your settings for all of your wireless interfaces.
Try to balance the signals at each end by adjusting the power levels.
If the difference at each end in power levels is more than 5dB then Increase the antenna height at each end.

Excuse me, but i'm not agree with this.
-52dBm (signal) - 49dBm (SNR) = -101dBm (noise), which is a great noise floor (noise very low).

What does the signal look like from the other end? You might still not be
perfectly aligned with the far antenna, which must be pointing at you correctly
as you're getting a good receive signal.

Indeed, this looks like an alignment issue, rather than a hardware setup.

My appologies.
My head was not there as I was looking at signal to noise and it registered as noise floor.

It could be alignment; I would check that first.
Also is the weeker link on top of a tower, if not then what kind of structure?
Are there any other radios and antennas on this structure?
