They look great for a customer or a repeater, but not a tower. I use the Commscope pipe to pipe mounts. They're available locally, beefy as all hell and reasonably priced. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Ty

That is true, average data usage increases about 50% per year. So over a 2 year contract, usage can be expected to more than double. Just like your new cellphone that you love today, will seem slow and outdated at the end of the 2 year contract. Again, it’s marketing, we need to get people

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Waveguide polarization

2015-02-18 Thread Chuck McCown
If you ever need to question this again, it is opposite the major dimension. If you could see the little probe /antenna that feeds the waveguide, you would see it sticking up out of the broad wall. The polarization of that little probe is the polarization of the waveguide. And it is

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Waveguide polarization

2015-02-18 Thread Dan Petermann
Hmm, now I am not so sure. Is it the orientation of the waveguide that determines the polarity or the orientation of the probe? For example, waveguide exits the radio with wider dimension in a left/right direction, and enters antenna in a up/down direction, did the polarization of the signal

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Waveguide polarization

2015-02-18 Thread Chuck McCown
Technically that is impossible to answer due to the infinite number of waveguide modes. However, the practical answer is that we always use a very simple mode. And in that mode, the probe always comes out of the broad wall, about a quarter wavelength from the end of a dead ended waveguide.

Chromecast has a “Guest Mode” that’s turned on by default. This allows someone to connect to its ad-hoc network and control it without being on the wireless network. Chris Wright Network Technician Velociter Wirelesshttp://www.velociter.net/ 209-838-1221 From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com]
