I set the no-load float voltage at 27.6 for the AD-155B's. Got some older RocketM's on 40-80 feet of cable and they've been fine.

The only real issue I've had is gear at the bottom not liking the higher voltage. Mostly older RB493's, which I replaced and threw in the round filing cabinet.

Yeah, in that case you're not going to have much drop. The only reason I shoot for 27.4v is to match the float voltage on batteries - if you don't have to deal with that, just set it to 26v, or so and you won't need to worry about anything.

    Reason I ask is if at the bottom I believe it's 24v and the top
    it's 24v.  I'm using that heavy duty coax (inch and a half?) up
    the tower for my DC.  I think the center conductor was 8mm.

    If you're doing say 27.4v at the bottom and 100' of two pair 24
    gauge, it's more like 26.83v at the top. I'm not losing that ~0.6v.

    I really don't want to fry anything and start replacing radios :(

        The UBNT stuff used to be a lot more sensitive than it is. 
         Anything modern should be fine up to 28V on the 24V radios.

            Sweet!  I'll crank up the power supply another volt.  IIRC
            Ubnt stuff dies at 26 or 27 volts, so you can see why I
            aimed for right at 24v.

                Agreed.  I expect your issues will go away if you
                increase voltage.  We run all ePMP @ 48VDC.  It fixed
                these random rebooting issues for us.

                    You need to subtract a bit of loss inside the
                    injector, and then a bit more for cabling.   Plus
                    a bit more for everything else.

                    For verification, I took my bench ePMP and hooked
                    it up to my power supply - it doesn't even turn on
                    until 22.5V at the radio.   I'm sure other copies
                    are probably higher or lower.   And I'm sure it
                    changes with internal temperature of the radio.

                    One big difference between the PoE Injector and
                    the SyncInjector is that the syncinjector uses
                    semiconductor switches which generally have a bit
                    more voltage drop than a relay.  The tradeoff is
                    that the semiconductor switches can switch far
                    more power than the relays can and can switch
                    quickly enough to do sync over power.

                        Epmp never has problems with the same DC

                            Funny story if you were using ePMP near
                            the beginning. Some of the first original
                            5GHz integrated radios had labels marked
                            56VDC. They were definitely NOT capable of
                            being powered from 48/56V. Somebody
                            screwed up.

                            Yeah. We've run Force180/200 survey setups
                            on a small 12V SLA too. It works, but
                            they're rated at 14 volts. Same with the
                            100 and 450 SMs. Still works. However, I
                            recall the regulator is very inefficient
                            down that low. Like the old 320 and 430
                            APs could be run on 24VDC, but you really
                            didn't want to do that, and
                            Motorola/Cambium said it was completely
                            unsupported.
