That is correct Travis. The noise issue - once found was fixed immediately and has not been an issue for many months now AFAIK.

Travis Microserv Mac Dearman wrote: Tom, I have had some issues in the 149/151MHz range at 48Vdc and have had a spectrum analyzer sniffing the board and the POE to check for other "out of band" emissions and have never seen an instance with MT at that high of a frequency. The problems were on the older RB532 and it is well documented on how to fix the problem. 99% of the noise that we saw was actually being transmitted at the POE (transferred via cat5?) at the base of the tower and it was resolved by changing to 18Vdc POE. It was bad enough that we shut down two Sheriffs Depts. Base stations and a HAM operator - - each on their own towers where we were co-located. (ouch) The issue was resolved and changes to the MB were immediate.

Just had an insodent today, (with a test unit that was installed in the field still). It was spewing out interference at 899Mhz noise interfering with Nextel. Confirmed with Spectrum Analyzer it was comming from mainboard. The noise was present even when the 5.8Ghz mpci card was disabled. Switching to 18V helped a little, but it was still causing significant interference. This RBunit is about 1.5 years. Just giving a heads up, for other MT users. Does anyone know if this problem was fixed on any of the other newer models?
