@davep@infosec.exchange @dtl@8bitorbust.info @a2es@mstdn.social Hi-gain and narrow beam are exactly the same (Physics) so the focus of either should be exactly the same (beam angle) for a particular gain. I was talking about making one. The engineering at 5Ghz is really tight for high gain designs, but with a dish, you only have to worry about focal point, which is a point at source and tune for maximum smoke kind of solution. (especially if you use the sun to find your focal point)

@Extelec@mstdn.social @davep@infosec.exchange @a2es@mstdn.social using the sun for focus is definitely the easiest way. Don't look at focal spot with remaining eye, however.
