Well I know this obviously, but we did get a 180 degree sector up on a broadcast tower, so I have a bunch of newbies to microwave and networking in general to deal with.
The consensus is to probably use the BBHN firmware as that is what the Emcomm and not so tech guys will have a liking to.
So overall I don't think adding that kind of support to a ham rolled firmware is a bad idea if someone out there had the urge to try and figure it out. A few years back Ubiquiti AirOS supported those frequencies natively. So one wonders if one day even Mikrotik might have those features removed.
Speaking of BBHN is there any kind of video showing the more nuts and bolts of it working for those of us who (or want to) understand things a bit deeper?
A video that perhaps shows broadband hamnet speed test (FTP transfer to a localhost, etc)
traceroutes to show hops when a node disappears or comes online
broadband hamnet route command output when a node disappears
