I have a painfully ignorant question, but I don't even know enough to figure out what I should be googling.
I have an omnidirectional antenna connected to the internet, and a directional radio pointed at it. The directional radio specifies a range of up to 15km. They're currently about 0.8km apart so I'd assume they'd connect, however the connection drops every few seconds.
Am I silly to think these should connect? Or does the directional radio need to be well within the working range of the omnidirectional antenna? Is the 15km range referring to 'broadcasting' range, not 'listening' range?
Again apologies for my ignorance
