I thought once you had a dish, panel, yagi, etc. certified at x dbi, all antenna in that category under that dbi were allowed. However, the guy I know said that isn't so... ALL antenna under the tested dbi are safe. All of the FCC statements I have read only mention a gain, not a gain\type.

That says a 31.4 dbi is certified with the XR5.

If indeed, an XR5 is certified with that particular 32dbi antenna, cable and pigtail. No reason they wouldnt certify popular antenna combos, not to mention the changes to the law regarding like-gain antennas that was made a few years back.

I never thought of it that way.  Doug makes a lot of valid points.

I can put an XR5 with a 32 dbi antenna into a PC and install Windows and be
legal.  Why can't I install Mikrotik (a specialized Linux distribution) on
it instead?

Ok.  I've said this before.  On a home PC, I don't need to certify a Dell
computer running Win2k and a Netgear wireless card to be FCC legal, so why
is Mikrotik any different?

Almost everything computerized is ALL modular certified.  What makes
homebrewed any different?  Is a Dell/HP/clone PC running Linux and a Netgear
