Whats the SAF lumina cost with say 2ft dishes for a 1 mile link? Scott Carullo Technical Operations 877-804-3001 x102

SAF designed this radio specifically for lower power applications (solar etc). and has a typical power consumption around 25W per unit. They have a high power model that does +25 at QPSK and +17 at 256 QAM at 11GHz.
