They reduce signal on vertical and horizontal poles by 3dB
I am using some on an inner suburb link, and since these problems you speak 
of arose a few weeks ago, I have been unable to get more than 1mbit/sec 
through the bridging link.
My next step is to try normal cantennae horizontally polarised as I am 
pretty sure said interference is vertical only.
