Keith,
 
 I just happened to see your email in time to suggest that you might want to
drop by this afternoon and let me see what I could put together for you. I
have lots of pigtails, 1-piece adaptors and even some wall wart power
supplies but I can't make it to the meeting tonight.

 Any chance of dropping by with the hardware?? You can let me know off-list
if you like.

 By the way, for anyone interested in knowing the difference between the
connectors, here's a great link with pictures of them:

Subject: [ptp-general] Looking for a couple of RP SMA to RP TNC pigtails



I bought a used Linksys WSB24 Wireless Signal Booster for $5 at
the Catlin Gable sale last weekend, and hope to boost my PTP
node (a WRT54G ) from 35mW to 140mW .  The unit also allegedly
adds 20dB of receive gain (which may merely amplify the noise).  

However, it came without the RF pigtails to connect to the WRT.
These are short ( 6 inches would work ) RP SMA to RP TNC cables.
That is, the cable will have inside threads on both ends, and
sockets for the center connectors.  Invictus sells these for 
$10 a piece.  A decent price, but perhaps somebody has a pair
of these in their junk box.

I expect to attend the PTP weekly tonight (Weds 5th) - I want to
learn more from Russell about small form factor systems.  It 
would be great if Rick brings a pair of these, but I don't 
expect that.  Otherwise if anyone else brings some, I would
pay the $20 either to them or donate it to PTP.


The WSB24 is also missing the wall wart - 5V "2.5A" 5mm X 2.5mm 
barrel connector.  That I can build, but if anyone has a spare
WSB24 wall wart I would buy that too, to save some effort.

All a lot of effort if the WSB turns out broken (it draws the
correct current, but ...? ), but I would like to be able to
reach a few more houses.

Keith
