But yes, credibility with regulators. When you sit down and sya "hey! FCC, we dont like these new requirements. Change them" they giggle because they know the industry you represent isnt following the current guidelines, so catering to them really isnt top on their list of to dos. This industry has an attitude of "if we arent getting caught, we arent doing it" UBNt wont change anything because theyre called out, they have to be forced by the FCC or other regulating agencies to comply, historically speaking I men, in fantasy pants land (cool parachute fantasy pants with plenty of zippers) they might proactively comply, but in real world, theyll meh it because they saw what happenned to sales On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 10:07 AM, Mike Hammett via Af < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> I think the credibility with regulators is greatly increasing.

Non UBNT fanboys would agree that UBNT is the most abused set of systems we use, note the dismay over losing "test mode" or whatever its called and the backlash I got for snitching on a vendor who was selling non US radios to US customers. UBNT wants to market themselves a a big player, but they cant even get the systems to do simple if and or for the most part in my experience of dealing with mikrotik guys, they take their spectrum stewardship seriously, Ive not dealt with all the tik guys, there are probably alot who abuse it too, and shame on them for that, but tik isnt as prevalent in the industry as UBNT is. I personally dont like the temptation to cheat, we are changing out a rocket link with a 650 right now that would work fine at full power in the lower 5gz, and I would never get caught, instead we are shedding customers while we are putting up the replacement tommorrow. Most folks wold just cheat it to get through, thats why WISPA has no real teeth On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 7:34 AM, Mike Hammett via Af < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> I don't believe the FCC has issued any DFS related violations that didn't include interfering with TDWR.

I wish WISPA would realize that they have absolutely no teeth and our membership dues have no return until our industry takes stewardship of the spectrum seriously. Its things like this that ensure the 5ghz rules are here to stay, WISPA has a better chance of sticking a straw up a unicorns hind end and blowing rainbow bubbles out its nose than getting the rules changed.

I'm guessing there are an awful lot of NanoBridges out there running at 23dBm Tx power on DFS channels - which should be limited to 5dBm. UBNT really needs to fix that.
