A path operating >40MHz is already on the 80MHz channel plan, so you'll likely be fine going from 56/60 to 80. You do not want to be responsible for interfering with another licensee, like public safety would be bad. Increasing channel bandwidth is a definite coordination because it could lead

So, as long as you're using the same channels, it's basically just updating the hardware on the license, and you don't have to go through coordination or anything like that? What about if you're currently using a 56mhz channel and go up to 80mhz? On Wed, Dec 13, 2017 at 10:42 PM, Seth Mattinen wr

the biggest cause of failure is not maintaining the blades on ez crimpers.

They are "easy" if you have never done an RJ45 before, and you can verify the colors easier after insertion. However, they leave the end open for water & air intrusion. On outdoor connections, we almost always use gel-filled cable, and when you crimp them properly, they fill the RJ45 with gel.
