If it has anything to do with the issue I brought up about the 3GHz 450
going nuts and the APs saying they're losing sync briefly while the
SyncInjector shows ZERO events for 1PPS active for months... It's NOT
the damn SyncInjectors! It's not even surge suppressors in the path. I
have observed exactly the same problems on APs with SyncPipes. There's
something busted with AutoSync and/or LBT on 3GHz. And when AutoSync
changes sources (on all bands), I get dropped sessions for every SM
that's moving traffic, which is not supposed to happen. So I have no
reason to suspect any PacketFlux gear is at fault here.
That said, they are working hard on 13.4 for Canopy and they will being
looking into this soon after. And I'm told the 2.4.3 release for ePMP
will be a fairly big step forward for features and fixes. It was really
cool that we got the 110PTP radio as a 10 SM Lite AP with 2.4.2 as well.

I'll let others speak to the stability (as a couple already have).
A few months ago there was an issue with a mutual customer of mine and
cambium's which was having sync problems with an epmp radio. To
date, I don't know if the problem was with the epmp, or with the
injector, or with a gps lock, or whatever. I can't say that sync
is a perfect thing - from time to time, gps modules act weird,
injectors don't inject, and AP's don't work right - no matter which
product you have. When sync does bad things, it behaves badly. For
all I know, in this case my product *might* have been at fault. Or
not. It's not important for the rest of the story....
In any case, somehow this problem morphed into a statement that
somehow the SyncInjectors had some sort of systemic issue which lots
of wisps were experiencing. I was not particularly amused by this,
particularly since I had no communication from cambium at all in
relation to this.... After some back and forth with my internal
contact at cambium I was informed that a) that they were tracking some
*potential* issue with external sync (usually with a syncinjector) on
the ePMP and b) that they hadn't had the time to figure out if it was
packetflux-specific or a general issue yet, and that if they
determined it was related to my product they'd contact me back. So
far, no call back, and I haven't heard any more similar complaints -
and I've had interactions with a lot of people who use this regularly
with ePMP with no known issues. I also haven't seen anything
sync-related in the release notes since that time.

General question here. I saw something in the Cambium forum
questioning the reliability of Packet flux Sync Injectors.
If you use them, are your GPS syncs stable and is power output
reliable on the 450 and ePMP gear?
