Re: [WISPA] Ubiquity mini-pci's worth the cost?

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,

What about SR series versus the XR series? I noticed that the XR's have thicker RF shields and they won't fit in a SBC that stacks the cards. (with lower TX power of course) Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O. Box 126 Bucyrus, OH 44820 419-562-6405 www.wavelinc.com -Original Message- From:

Not all Dual Pol antennas can be used like two seperate antennas, based on their design. However, I know the PacWireless dish can be. If one radio is on 5.3G and the other is on 5.8G, it will work no problem. It becomes more complicated, and more risky, to figure out how to get two 5.8G radios o

Well, true, as always, IANAL, YMMV, etc. I know I won't meet the threshold because sales could double and I still wouldn't hit that much. Perhaps a safe margin would be until you do... $4k/month in VoIP service, to not worry about filing. That is the site that I gleaned my information from.

The XRs have a newer chipset in addition to the increased power. They're also cheaper at some shops. I wouldn't be upset if I never saw another ufl again. The MMCX is a bit harder to get undone, but that's kinda the point. It won't just pop off. -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing
