Here's the scenario: Customer has an aerial ethernet run from his
garage to his home. A tree branch fell and cut the line. I told him
we'll replace it for a $50 fee. Does this sound fair?
Also, does anyone have a fee schedule they use for billable calls?
Thanks!

$75 for all truck rolls where it is not our fault. Rule of thumb, we
get there, plug in our laptop, test. If it works, $75 charge. If it
doesn't, service call is free.
Also, in aerial Cat5 runs that are more than a few feet the cable will
stretch and eventually the cable will fail.

Trango APs have a site survey tool, however, it requires a reboot and you a)
have to catch it within 30s of bootup or b) set default opmode to OFF.
I advise the first option - this way you never run into an issue with power
failures for 5 minutes bringing your customers down until you click "on".
Randy,
You cant go by that spectrum analyzer. Something is wrong. Most receivers
can't handle 5dbm pumped into them without killing them.

Well, we replaced the backhaul (osbridge) and get the same readings on
