I'm pretty sure it is the POE. The problem shows up on the spectrum analyzer as soon as the POE ports power on. Before the radio has even the remotest chance of fully booting up. I'm not sure however if that would be the case if the radio was not even on the other end of the cable that had POE

If these are all water tanks, you would probably be best served running Fiber + DC to a small box at the top and use double-shielded cable from the Netonix to the radios.  I would use a metal enclosure so no noise from the switch should be an issue.  Some FP-1204 from Shireen would do the

It doesn't seem to be a particular radio. At one point we were convinced it was some old 900 FSK radios that we removed eventually. At one point we ran coax up to the omni and left the connectorized radio at the base of the tower which solved that problem at that time but it was the cable not

This is correct. Harris Microwave Communications Division (MCD) was spun off and merged with Stratex in 2007 under Harris-Stratex. The company was renamed Aviat Communications in 2010. Sent from my iPad > On Feb 28, 2019, at 5:15 PM, wrote: > > Good to know. Thanks. > > From: Tim

Do you know what frequency the 911 radios use? I'm guessing these are VHF 2way radios? Closest thing I can think of that I've run into is customers who are also ham radio operators, or with OTA TV antennas and interference into low band VHF channels 2-7. I didn't have much luck with shielded

I would first attempt to discover if it is the CAT5 or the radio itself. Ask the 911 guys if they have a spectrum analyzer they can lend you to puzzle this out. Shielded CAT5 helps. Putting in coils at the ends helps. Ferrite chokes help. Some run it in liquidtight or full metal conduit. You
