Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo repair
Rick - MT CPE can be plug and play. Create a template, then copy and paste. Keep in mind they're more costly. Nanostations work well even at -85 and -95 noise floor in my experience, that's why I like them. Tranzeos had the water problem for me, not Nanostations.

I plan on testing out some Tik for CPE but it is not very plug play for installers. On the contrary, I can train a monkey to configure a Tranzeo or Ubiquiti. -RickG On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 11:16 PM, Chuck Hoggch...@shelbybb.com wrote: MikroTik RB/411R, ARC 15/19dB Antenna. Cheap.

Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo repair
We experimented with Tranzeo several years ago. There is one 5ghz CPE that's been connected at -84 servicing someone desperate for Internet since we started. I think it was February 2007. All of the other Tranzeo units since then have died and we've been forced to replace them. They're not bad at all, really, just the painful need to crimp it on the tower is what really does it in for me.

Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo repair
I know! And that has been discussed many times and Tranzeo is adamant that it is the best way. I'd like to see them tall that to some of my climbers. Thank goodness for those EZ-45 connectors and that special crimper. Takes some of the pain out of teaching a tower monkey to make a good termination! Most of our Tranzeo is still working but we switched away due to the issues with the GUI not working correctly when the radio was linked. We are sorta looking at them again for 3.65, but I understand they still have the inoperable tumor on the rear of the enclosure.

Best way...if this wasn't a public list. We almost left the idea of a WISP behind because every good rainstorm or few we'd lose a Tranzeo AP. Water some how managed to get in that stupid bump. I just threw the last one out a few months ago but it was a priceless image - we had the pigtail from where it was cut (THANKS TRANZEO), in the plastic bump sitting in a square puddle of silicon and the crease between plastic/metal was lined with coax seal.

Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo repair
This is true for me as well. I haven't seen a seal fail, and I do not over-tighten the nuts. However, I HAVE had several fail after hail knocks a hole in the top of the cover, and then over time, water is funneled into the radio. I have found a couple of radios that were half full of water (or more) before they failed. Leaving the bottom loose may help, so that the water can get out, rather than building up to the point where it can get into the radio through the ethernet port.

Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo repair
We have over 600 hundred Tranzeo's installed as AP's, CPE's and Backhaul. So far our biggest problem has been lightening, but no problem with water unless someone left off the black thingy and tried to seal it with RTV. Of course we are in New Mexico where it only rains 12 inchs a year, but usually all at once. The newer radios have screws around the enclosure and a less adhesive sealent, so they are much easier to open. Although a good filet knife worked well with the old ones.

Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo repair
Use a razor knife to cut around the edges and loosen the gasket. Then, get a putty knife in and just work it around. It's hard at first but they let go.

Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo repair
I have not saw it happen either. *Side note* My dad is an auto mechanic, and put me to work in my early teens. The first set of valve cover gaskets I put on I took an air wrench to, wide open, until it couldn't screw no more! (Hey I wanted to get done to go ride motorcycles with my girlfriend!) Needless to say, they leaked oil like there were no valve cover's on it. I had to work over that night to fix my screw-up(No moto riding with my sweetie that night). I learned two lessons that night that have stuck with me. (1). All gaskets have a torque specification that needs to be followed, and if I had read the package, I would have known that... i.e. the instructions are there for a purpose. (2). Never assume anything(this one has been hard to follow, even 20 years later) and anything worth doing, is doing it right the first time. OK. maybe that's 3 lessons learned?
