lol We've had decent luck here as well, but it's only been two or three times. I have had the home owner "line up" the antenna more than once though, since I obviously had it pointing the wrong way... Routerboard inside a Rootenna. Good luck lining that up without the GUI. - Original Me

roofers around here, for whatever reason are masters at blind pointing our gear. I guess its all the corn guns and bibles that bring us the good luck. On Wed, Jun 3, 2015 at 4:39 PM, Nate Burke wrote: > It seems like using Roofing nails for Jlegs and tripods are what's taught > at roofing school

Ive said that forever, there should be a "lite license" basically, you can use whatever gear you want wherever you want to use it. but if an operator moves into the area that uses a standardized colocation/sync (fcc approved, blech) they can force you off the band. That way podunk dead areas dont h

It seems like using Roofing nails for Jlegs and tripods are what's taught at roofing school. From a textbook I'm sure roofers use: "Has the antenna fallen off the roof before your truck leaves the property? If not, then it was installed properly. If it falls off after this point, then it is

Re: [AFMUG] 320 series - still using

Interesting. I agree with the dream of having someone re-write the firmware to interface 320 stuff with the FCC database. Probably just a dream though. On the 450, you mention being able to sync with customers down the road. The way I understand it, there is no standard being proposed that wo

Why do customers say things like "if your guy is going to mount anything to my roof, then my roofing guy will have to be here to supervise", yet they feel fine having roofers take down our equipment and cables and remount them without telling us? And then act like we're saying stupid stuff when

Im stuck with it. We bought an overstock load of APs and SMs. We have a dream of Telrad working out to save the day with their firmware load. Some creative Telrad AP deployments gradually replacing the 320 APs, utilizing the 320 CPEs until we migrate the site to LTE with telrad CPEs, giving us 320

Yes that would probably make sense to do then. I'm more ePMP and couldn't care less about Canopy. Anything that's needed to make ePMP improvements I would certainly suggest. I'd rather avoid a sync source and ePMP GPS conflict. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne

I am just curious how many of you have decided to keep using the 320 series because it goes through trees a lot better than the 450 series 3.65 product? Are you expanding with it as far as towers go? Or, are you just adding SMs to what you already have? Paul Paul McCall, Pres. PDMNet / Florid

Re: [AFMUG] rack mount UPS.

RSD B24 is a DC to DC power supply. The output is 24Volt, the input accepts a wider range (but nominally 24 Volt). The AD155B will output the float voltage of the batteries when AC is on (26V or so), and output battery voltage when AC is off, which will start around 24V when they're full char
