I agree, there is no limit on number of spans, but the distance in the span could be an issue. We have been using 12 strand Corning SST Drop cable for runs, its cheap and very strong. On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 8:59 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: > I have run many spans of stuff

Re: [AFMUG] Flat Drop Aerial

I haven't yet seen a limit on number of spans, but I wasn't looking for it either. With most flat drop in a heavy ice zone I do have a span length limit too low for country roads where poles are 400-500 feet apart. I'm needing to use stuff with steel strength members. -- Original

Re: [AFMUG] Problems with Packetflux Powerinjector

Reason I ask is if at the bottom I believe it's 24v and the top it's 24v. I'm using that heavy duty coax (inch and a half?) up the tower for my DC. I think the center conductor was 8mm. If you're doing say 27.4v at the bottom and 100' of two pair 24 gauge, it's more like 26.83v at the top. I'm

Re: [AFMUG] Good tower for 100'

The load limits on "least expensive" are pretty crippling. Two dishes and that Texas Tower model from the link is fully loaded. Same with a Trylon Titan if you're getting the least expensive model. I'd consider what you need to put on it first, then cost second. -- Original Message

Re: [AFMUG] Problems with Packetflux Powerinjector

27.4v is at the power supply, so where there's 100' or so of cable, voltage is going to be quite a bit lower at the radio, but we have some sites where there's only a few feet of cable and it works fine. On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 9:54 AM, Josh Luthman wrote: > Ahh

Re: [AFMUG] Problems with Packetflux Powerinjector

You don't lose any voltage until the radios start drawing power, so it generally isn't 100% safe to boost it beyond what the radios are rated for. I'd set the voltage at the bottom to the absolute maximum you know the radios are fine with. Then it can only go down from there. On Tue, May 15,

One other option is to put 48VDC in at the bottom of the coax, and then use a DC-DC converter at the top for those things which need 24V. I'm particularly fond of the meanwell rsd series, specifically the meanwell RSD-150C-24 should do just fine. Assuming you don't have more than 150W of radios

Yeah, in that case you're not going to have much drop. The only reason I shoot for 27.4v is to match the float voltage on batteries - if you don't have to deal with that, just set it to 26v, or so and you won't need to worry about anything. On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 10:20 AM, Josh Luthman
