the 1 mile mark would be cool!

the tv anntena on top of the RV is adjusted (rotated) from inside the motorhome... and its actually next to where the laptop goes...


Im curious as to how far i might lock onto surfable signals...

the amounts tilted are very small, usually just a couple of degrees. that would be hard to adjust. remember, use kismet or some passive (non-transmitting) signal strength measurement when adjustting a high gain antenna by hand. This is for long range weaker signals right? how about a strong signal ...

The one I have my eyes set on has 18deg beamwidth.. its from ARC wireless solutions.. I hope its not that hard to swing around and look for a signal.. this is for internet surfing, and I will try to connect to the first allowable AP (be it free (store) or pay) Let me ask this... to fine tune signal ...

Yes I hear ya..

I was now looking into a 19db panel antenna and attach it to the existing TV antenna that the motor home has...

hopefully i can get some good range.... this is only fir internet surfing and email...

Looking for antenna (or yagi) for a RV -Motorhome-? Floor to roof of rv is approx 11.5 feet, its a 36ft class-a motorhome... I have laptop with Senao 2511cdplus-Ext2 card.. I will try to use shortest possible coax lengths... maybe 15 feet of LMR400? I was thinking of this high gain omni vertical ...
