Cisco AP1242's are certified, and can put out 20 dB. They can be used
with the Cisco 21 dB dish. In the config menu, there is a place to tell
it what kind of an antenna is attached.

I thought certification had to be acquired for a complete package,
hardware AND software. Have I misunderstood?
I haven't (yet) found specifications on the transmit power of the AR2316
single-chip-AP, but most Atheros gear can be configured to run at up to
24dBm or so. Meanwhile, according to Ubiquiti's spec sheet, the antenna
in this unit has 18dBm gain. If you set the software to use the maximum
power the card supports, you're probably over the legal EIRP limit.
Wouldn't a hardware/software combination that will let you exceed power
limits (because it doesn't know what kind of antenna you're using, so it
can't even pop up a warning) be a Bad Thing?
