Looks like 6.48 was a big update and had some fixes that could potentially improve the issue. We shall see. Support still isn't helping but I hope I make enough of a stink about it they look deeply into the issue. You don't see people getting random reboots from 1036's and other units. Check o

We didn't take the pledge and very glad we didn't. No one should work for free and that's basically what the pledge was. When you let people get too far behind, the remaining balance becomes daunting and they just ditch and ignore you so you never get paid. If you value yourselves and the work you

Here in the "hood" delinquent customers are just par for the course.  If there were 10% more we probably wouldn't have noticed. We didn't shut anyone off for non-payment through the end of the summer, and we gave people a lot of breaks.  At some point you have to shut them down or just give it

There's really not even a lot of good reasons to do it. If the Aviat radios are able to run full power now using A2C, you can accomplish pretty much the same that way (or using the equivalent feature with Bridgewave or SIAE). On Tue, Jan 5, 2021 at 6:26 PM Ken Hohhof wrote: > Yep. > > One more t

My coordinator told me no. Not a maybe no, but a flat no. Had to do primarily with the band edges. I'd love to do it, and the radios will do it. But the FCC gets involved and not only are you probably paying a massive fine, but you're losing substantial capacity you may be hinging your business on.

Does anyone have a letter or other notice that you can share, that you sent out to customers regarding nonpayment during the pandemic? The FCC "pledge" went through June 30, 2020. Many large ISPs extended things like late payments and overusage fees through the end of the year, but many of tho

I’ll let Tim respond, but here’s my take. It’s not a rule saying you can’t do it, but rather a license to do something else. Frequency coordinators and other users of the band rely on you following the license you obtained. To do something else, based on a totally different ETSI standard that

A note of caution: Some vendors have been pushing the notion that at 11 GHz, one can coordinate and license an 80 MHz bandwidth pair along with a 40 MHz bandwidth pair separated by 60 MHz to in effect get a contiguous 120 MHz of spectrum. This is okay as long as you are transmitting two distinct
