Over voltage will kill the radio or board current is only drawn as needed.

It's not actually mine. It's another's from the list. We were talking
about it. But I am sure that on my 230 ft run of cat 5 that I had to
replace an 18v 1a with an 18v 2a to get the radio to stop rebooting.
The individual I was talking to thought if you up the amps it will kill
the radio. I thought if you up the volts it kills the radio. Who is
right?
Well, actually I know what the cat 5 is. It's comscope 25 pair.
Which brings up another question. Who does this? Run a single bundle
of 25 pair up towers and use punch down blocks. Any issues with this?

Brian,
I'm normally a lurker, but maybe your problem is in the 300' run of
CAT5.
What kind is it? You may be getting signal degradation which is
causing the
sporadic radio behavior.

Subject: [WISPA] OT amps and volts
I'm a little confused here. I'm working on a 300 ft run of cat5 and
have a question. The radio is acting sparatic. The power supply has
already been upped from a 18v to a 24v. Both 1 amp. Will it hurt to
put a 24v 2 amp power supply in? If I "over do" on amps or volts,
what blows a radio. One or both? I seem to remember being told that
a radio only takes what amps it needs, so putting a higher amp power
supply in won't hurt, but if you put too many volts in, that will fry
them. Please clarify me on this.
