The rules definitely do allow up to 53, but you have to go with whatever the particular radio is certified for because of the OOBE stuff.
The ePMP interface locks to 36 when it's in PtMP mode, but when you switch it to PtP it lets you go up to 50 (20dBm + 30dBi) - it doesn't let you go higher than 20dBm tx power, regardless of the antenna size. I'm assuming that actually is what is allowed, since that's what the interface does limit it. I know someone did post the FCC certification on one of the lists and it showed the ePMP was certified for 20dBm tx power... but I'm not certain if there are any antenna restrictions. ________________________________ From: Af [[email protected]] on behalf of That One Guy via Af [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 4:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 5.1 PMP rules cambium linkplanner is locking it at 36 on ptp I havent looked on the ptp650 to see if its locked Man i hope somebody can provide some evidence that it can go up to 53, that would get a pretty big load of my back right now On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 4:31 PM, Mathew Howard via Af <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: That's definitely not right... maybe you have numbers from the old 5150-5250 rules? PtMP is 36dBm EIRP, and PtP is 53dBm EIRP - however, because of the OOBE stuff, I'm not aware of anything that can actually do 53dBm. Ubiquiti stuff is all limited to 36dBm, ePMP lets me set the Tx power up to 20dBm with the antenna size set to 30dBi (in PtP mode). ________________________________ From: Af [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] on behalf of That One Guy via Af [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 4:24 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 5.1 PMP rules Really?
