The XR cards have better static protection by far!
The little chip that switches the antenna connector on the SR cards
dies if you look at it crosseyed!
On a tower or other hard to access location, I now use XR cards
exclusively.
Only one I've lost was to a direct hit. (fragged the antenna,
okay, now 3 days later the new south radio (originally north) is misbehaving
in the same way (Tx/Rx signals are off by 10 where on the other sectors
they're roughly balanced). The signals going back to the tower are 8 - 10
db stronger than the received signals. An R52 (or possibly R52H) is

Jack Unger - President,
Can anyone tell me what an XR5 puts out for signal if it has blown it's amp?
I'm starting to believe something is causing the XR5s to blow their amps,
reducing them to pre-amp power. What that is remains to be seen. I'm
hoping it's the radio itself, pigtail, or the coax vs. the $350 MTI I
Not sure if this was asked, but is your board powering these cards properly?

*shrugs* It's a Mikrotik 4 slot mPCI - PCI adapter modified (by Mikrotik)
to power higher powered cards. It previously contained all SR5s.
I'm looking to convert to 4x RB411AHs instead of 1x PC.

The TX is currently set to default in MT 2.9.51, whatever dB that turns out
to be. I was going to tune it once the system stabilized.
Maybe 20' of LMR-400.
No lightning arrestors. The other sectors on the tower sat there for years
without them and no damage, so when I upgraded and had the

This really looks like you are causing yourself all kinds of
interference. Using the channels you listed:
North, ICS1 = 5785
South, ICS2 = 5805
East, ICS4 = 5765
West, ICS3 = 5745
I'm sure they are stepping on each other. The signal doesn't just drop
completely off on the edges. I assume
My Lenovo had an option at purchase of either an internal 3G card (can't
recall if it was ATT or Sprint) or a Turbo cache, which I chose.
I presume it was a mini-PCI option.
My laptops have, for years, tethered to my cell phone via bluetooth.
Before 3G, it varied from a SPEEDTEST of 60K to 150K
So are you telling me that I can only run 2 or 3 radios in upper 5 GHz without
stepping on myself?
I was pretty sure nothing was greater than -60 or so before I made these tower
changes, but silly me, I didn't bother to document what I saw.
Some of those signals don't make any sense, either.
The only idea that comes to my mind is for professionally-operated small
operators to somehow partner with the least established/most threatened
cellular operator which may be Sprint/Clearwire. If
professionally-operated small operators could somehow allow their
existing tower locations to be
The noise is coming from the actual wireless cards being so close to
each other. Not all of the signal is going out the cable... and with
cards stacked within inches from each other, more noise bleeds over.

I have a genuine interest to know what's going on here.
Why wasn't this an issue before and what effect does this have on a radio no
longer transmitting as powerfully? I could see it going deaf, but it hears
just fine.
I'm thinking about ditching the PC and mPCI - PCI adapter and going with
Didn't you just "upgrade" to the XR series cards? They put out a lot
more power, thus creating issues inside the box.
You could turn the power way down or even turn 1 or 2 cards off and see
if that fixes the issues.

I am wondering about a resolution on this. I had a failing StarOS Board

I have also noticed that at times the signal Strength on my clients go

You better switch that AP back to StarOS before you start loosing customers.
Mine started to get pretty irate after about 2 weeks. There is nothing you
can do to stop it or slow it down either.

I never put more than 2 radio cards in the same box, and then only if
they are at least 40MHz apart in the 5GHz band.
In the 2.4 GHz band, I simply don't put 2 radios in the same box.
Also, the XR's draw more power than the SR cards. Does your 4 card
adapter have enough headroom on the power
We're migrating EVERYTHING to StarOS. I've got 150 or so Tranzeo TR-CPQ's

Odd behavior. This must be a mismatch in the protocol between the Tranzeo
units and MikroTik. We have tested many different units (E-zy.net,

behavior you describe. However I do recall way back someone had very strange

Tom,
The price structure of WiMax gear is, as you noted, structured such that the
cost of the service provider gear is quite expensive (compared to the
typical gear that most WISPs use).

What would be preferred is a router with 4 ports and the ability to
