The problem is the reflected NSM5 at MVHS has low S/N ratio and that 
gets worse as its channel of operation moves higher in the band. That is 
not the case with the AGM5 at DARA. It is also not a problem with the 
AGM5 at MVHS.

Per Bill's recommendation, I hope to swap the AGM5 and NSM5 at MVHS at 
the earliest weather opportunity. The MVHS AGM5 is now aimed uselessly 
at the W Xenia NSM5 which is aimed at Bill (north 60 degrees), not back 
at MVHS.

That should bring both nodes' S/N up enough to see 9.5 Mb/s or so at 10 
MHz, as well as to operate them at 20 MHz bandwidth, where the rate is 
19+ Mb/s. *I've seen that in testing*.
