Things To Avoid
- Linking to sectors at other sites
- Linking in the guard bands between sector frequencies
- Sometimes this cannot be avoided
Getting Started
Choosing a frequency
This can be one of the toughest parts of designing a point to point HamWAN link. The chosen frequency must not interfere with other users at either site, it cannot interfere with our own links at either site.

Common Issues
Linking to a sector
You should not create a ptp link using a radio and a sector at a remote site. However if you must there are some important steps required to prevent disaster.
- The wlan mac address of the link radio MUST be blacklisted on ALL of the sectors colocated at the same site to ensure the link radio NEVER connects to a local sector\
- The link radio MUST be configured with a Connect List that only allows it to connect to the desired sector, identified by mac address
