I haven't used them, but the power settings are manual. They may have a high limit, but it is easily overridden. I don't believe there is anything to prevent you from (illegally) putting 15 db into a 4' dish in lower 5 GHz.
Redline's manual filed with the FCC for their 3650 says if you use this antenna, don't enter more than this in the output power field... or something to that effect. Therefore, physically there's nothing preventing you from putting full power into the 20 db antenna, even though you're supposed to enter 0 or -1. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Travis Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 7:48 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC Certifiable MikroTik?
