Re: [WISPA] Site Survey Method

Carry it all with you on the roof. Small battery, small wireless
travel router, use a smartphone to check signal level. I made an
adapter to use my 18v cordless drill batteries. One possible issue is
if you use 2.4ghz CPE and your portable router is on same freq, you
can't do a reliable speed test. Netbook + battery pack is another
option, but you need 3 hands, one to hold CPE, one to hold netbook and
one to work mouse. Smartphone works much better.
