I'm looking to install an EPMP AP where the subs (force 180's) are only going to be about 100 yards away, and within a few degrees of each other. There is an existing mount already installed on the AP side, but it cannot handle something the size of a normal sector. There is a bare FSK AP

56mhz MIMO channel, Mikrotik Btest will return around 550mb/350mb sync, or around 550mb each way. Webpage reports ~730mb sync. Make sure you have flow control turned on. Makes a huge difference. Without it, was only running in the 200-300mb range. On 8/25/2017 4:04 PM, Matt wrote: Anyone

You buy the radio which is the same hardware for all 11ghz, then the Diplexers for your licensed frequency, High or low. 1 Diplexer per end for a SISO link, 1 polarity. 2 Diplexers per end for a MIMO link, Dual Polarity. In the radio firmware you do not select different frequencies for the

Can an original 450AP (from when they were still trying to get FSK interop working) only run with Standard Cambium POE pin-outs, or can they take reversed POE polarity as well? The Spec sheet doesn't say polarity, just voltage range, and it seems like a potentially expensive test.
