RE: [smartBridges] airBridge Total - Default Antenna Setting

Point taken... with the min power setting being 11.5dB, with a 9dB antenna (minus the 0.5dB for 'cable' loss) that would equal 20dB, the ETSI maximum.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Tom Haynes Sent: 01 September 2003 01:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] airBridge Total - Default Antenna Setting Changing the antenna selection in no way affects the power output, only the calculations. I assume that to be ETSI certified, these settings must be kept as SB ships them but changing to FCC and adjusting the power to 20dB will look to same to a spectrum analyzer. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Watkins Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003 6:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] airBridge Total - Default Antenna Setting When I run simpleMonitor on airBridge Total, the EIRP reading flashes VERY quickly in the application's status bar.   Being in the UK, I presumed it would be 20dB but it reads 13.2dB - approx 7dB short of the 20dB ETSI maximum.  The Dial-A-Power tab is disabled so there is now way of checking antenna and power settings.   I changed the default region to FCC to enable the D-A-P tab, only to find the antenna selected was a 2.2dB - not the 9dB as per the specs so that explains where the 13.2dB came from.   Is this 2.2 antenna the default antenna setting for Total products?  If so, it explains why the RSSI and LQ are not as good as they should be at certain ranges.   My aPPT is the same.  Will changing it to a custom 9dB and setting power meter to 20dB affect the radio in anyway?   Andy
