I left an AP running on the bench for a few days transmitting without an
antenna connected. It was fine. I've had water in coax with APs
transmitting into it for several days. No harm.
An SM will not transmit until it hears an AP beacon that it wants to
register to.

Yeah just keep the default plug in while you upgrade if it lets you,
then you know it won’t be transmitting.

I hope not. I suppose that if you were worried you could turn the
channel to "None". If it's an SM my understanding is that it just
listens until it hears your AP.

Do the 900 MHz PMP100 radios have any issues being powered on
without an attached antenna?
I want to upgrade firmware / test an old radio before bringing
it up to the roof if I can (antenna is already up, don't have
a spare at this location).
