When I was looking at Server Plus I was hearing about 15-20 minute hold times. My hold times rarely ever exceed 5 minutes, and average much lower. I asked Layne or Michael or whoever my sales guy was at the time about routing calls overseas and he said "we do have an overseas call center, primari

Yes, the annual rate is 'supposed' to stay the same, but the fine print says that they can change it at any time...up to the 'maximum'which is around $230,000 per year by the time the policy completes. On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 10:00 AM, Steve Jones wrote: > forever and ever, expungment and al

Yes, you can combine in parallel too. Unless they are essentially the same unit, you can have them not sharing the load equally in parallel. Sometimes that can be ungood. From: Steve Jones Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2017 9:57 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Off sources for 48v 2.5 a

Re: [AFMUG] Off sources for 48v 2.5 a power supplies

If the power supplies have isolated outputs, you should be able to "stack" them in series to get more volts (as in the case you're looking at, two 24V in series will get you 48V). Parallel hookup CAN get you more amps, but the power supplies can buck each other if they are not designed for it.

That actually works? Does that apply in parallel as well if I have the voltage I need but not the amperage? I just assumed multiple power supplies connected together would be like crossing streams and call up some demonic stay puff marsh mellow crickets or something On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 10:02 A

Re: [AFMUG] Connecting Antennas For Higher Gain?

Real world result will be lower due to transmission line and combiner losses. 16” dish at 2.4 G sucks. I’ll bet you can get a sector that will fit that space that will have more gain. From: Christopher Gray Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2017 9:20 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] Connecting

[AFMUG] Connecting Antennas For Higher Gain?

I have a location with a tall space available for an antenna (About 16" wide x 64" tall). I'm currently running ePMP 2.4 GHz PTP there with a ~16" dish, but I would like more gain. What is the best way to get more gain if I can only go taller? Can I get a second dish and mount it above the first

By fixed, I meant the annual rate. The rate is supposed to stay the same for 20 yrs. After that, all bets are off. On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 10:07 AM, Chuck McCown wrote: > I am pretty expensive but my numbers were bad when they wrote the policy. > I have my blood sugar under control now, blood pr

I am pretty expensive but my numbers were bad when they wrote the policy. I have my blood sugar under control now, blood pressure is nominal, weight is coming down. I wonder if I can ask for a lower rate or if I would just have to cancel the policy and apply with someone else. From: Travis
