First, I was not aware that a CSE with lower throughput would muck things up for everyone... So therefore, my idea of a limited CSE is out the window :)
The LHA seemed ideal for a low cost device and it was inexpensive, however, I cannot get one via Amazon, and the direct pricing for an International version is a bit steep.
So I sent it back. Very small, though.
If you still have that DynaDish, I would like to try it out here. I believe I forwarded you a path study from my home to Central downtown, which seems to say I can make it with some headroom to spare. Since my HF antenna tower is a telescopic tilt over affair, the only mount point available is on my roof, probably on my TV antenna mast, roughly 20 ft in the air.
If you still have the radio available later in Jan/Early Feb, I wouldn’t mind giving it a go. I have a toilet seal to replace and a HF contest to work in the next couple of weeks, and those are my priority at the moment.
Since the DynaDish is three times the cost of the LHA, I will have to "earn" the dough from Honey Do work here. The Toilet project will pay it off.
Thanks for the offer! BTW, all three DMR boxes work great in my home, super coverage from KTPA and also Drew Park. I can use the St Pete system from my car very well in upper Pinellas and across past Oldsmar to WestChase area.
Really great coverage -- Kudos!

Lu,
I have personally evaluated just about every wireless product MT has for our Tampa HamWAN project. The LHA is part of their newer line with firmware restrictions on band limits, which is the reason I stayed away from that product. After several months of evaluation and testing (and over 10 amazon orders) I found the best radio to be the DynaDish. I have a extra one I can loan you to test if you want. The DynaDish I found to be the best because you pull it out of the box and is pretty much ready to go (unlike the basebox and external antenna which requires assembly).
