Such a link would work at 8km but it will be susceptible to interference since there isn't a narrow beam width. If you really want to use such a link it would work best in noise-free areas. Also try a 40mhz bandwidth and enable nstreme for best performance. Nv2 does work but IMO has higher jitter than nstreme in noisy environments. It's better suited to ptmp setups.

As a cpe the sxt can work with 15km  on 20mhz bandwidth. YMMV.

For ptp I recommend nanobridge or powerbridge or rocketdish (from lower to higher performance, in that order).

With 34dbi rocketdish and a set of rocket m5s (non gps) at the back of each you can do over 80mbps tcp throughput comfortably over 40km. I'm giving figures for a link I personally set up.

Has anyone done a p-t-p link with Mikrotik SXTs?

Any clue about their range (distance)? I just don't seem to be able to find this info online, perhaps wrong search keywords.

I am looking at using these for an 8km p-t-p and will be most grateful for your advise.
