Dear James: You are exaggerating my disagreement with wireless_wonk. I was fully aware that MMDS frequencies were located slightly higher in the spectrum than PCS, but did not know that this relatively small difference could have such a significant effect on propagation characteristics. Even now, I do not believe that MMDS is as dependent on LOS as wireless_wonk seemed to indicate. The basis for my doubt is that the reflected and diffracted paths are not significantly affected by precipitation. However he is a RF engineer, I am not (my background is in communications and signal processing, including wave propagation, but primarily for acoustic waves). What's your expertise by the way? You claim to be a lawyer, but every time a legal question comes up you remain strangely silent. Did you ever succeed in passing the bar exam? If you did, are you as charming with your clients as you are with everybody on this thread? Inquiring minds want to know. Best wishes, Bernard Levy
