Yeah, the 5Ghz is pretty sensitive to trees and such... We use them for site to site links in Marshalltown, so not much for trees (at least on our links). Longest link is ~2-3mi. They've been rock solid so far.

Tried that a few years ago out in the country, .. they seemed real 
sensitive to vegetation & trees; could not get a link over a similar 
range with a 20db omni antenna.

Let us know where you end up for your solution? *Especially* if you 
find some directional antennas.
