New guy with questions on installing.

hello all, i have been installing some 900’s with hyperlink 15dbi parabolic grid antennas. I have had good luck and have also tried some moonblink yagi’s 16dbi and they dont seem to work as good. i have tried holding them different directions vertical horizontal up and down. just dont get as good a signal for some reason. Any feed back on that would be great. Its an Omni on the tower and i have a bunch at 10 to 14 miles. Anyway, a couple questions:
With the headset, the tone seems to fluctuate bigtime at first. If you register the sm and then the tone is smooth and steady and much easier to point the antenna. is there something im doing wrong or a setting i should be on when trying to use headset?
Another question is this: We have a narrow lake 1/2 mile across. people on one side can see the tower no problem and good signal. the otherside has no signal due to trees. If there is a willing landowner to put equipment at their house (repeater etc) then what is the cheapest way to go for the company if only lets say 10 people on the side with no signal. Must be a simple way to reflect the signal somehow?

Ditch the Moonblink yagi and get a Cushcraft 13dBi or an M2 17dBi

Look at the M2 yagi as a less bulky alternative… the hyperlink dish has a better front-back (this is good for RF noisy areas)

A way to fill a space like the one you’re describing is to use a different frequency AP in the fill area, and use one of your normal client SMs as a backhaul. See page 98-99 in the manual for an example discussing extending sync to the AP.

I’ll also echo the M2 recommendation. The mounts aren’t great, and weather sealing is difficult, but they perform extremely well.
