It is actually the PTP 450i that I’m talking about. I probably wouldn’t use it again because it seems once you have enough power to use 900 MHz in PTP, then you have plenty of power to use 2.4 GHz in PTP.
I was going to get the Syncbox Junior Aux Port, but there is no “uGPS power” option in the firmware, so I’m not sure the radio can power it. I only have one of these, it is 1 hour away and already running. Otherwise, I would just test it with what I have here.

Yes, with the caveat that they changed some stuff in the 450i *AP* hardware which makes it incompatible with pipes before revision I0. If it works and gets sync, it's good to go. If it doesn't, then you'll just need to find a syncpipe or syncbox I0 or later. (That's the letter I, it's kinda nice how that ended up landing = I0 = 450i. Would have been better if they hadn't mangled the sync port to need a different circuit, but that's the way it goes).

Apparently I was wrong about them supporting sync over power... looks like you would indeed need a timing port device. But in that case, any old sync pipe should work, shouldn't it? http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/Sub-6-GHz/PTP450-900-BHM-Sync-Options/td-p/74379 I suspect we are actually talking about a PMP AP though, so we'd need to clarify that On Thu, Jun 18, 2020 at 8:53 PM Forrest Christian (List Account) <li...@packetflux.com <mailto:li...@packetflux.com> > wrote: I see that everyone else is as confused as I am about some of these PTP Radios. I'm about 100% certain that the 900Mhz PTP is be the AP hardware, in which case it should support any timing method you throw at it: Canopy sync, cambium sync, or aux port sync. For a single radio,the Syncbox Aux Port is probably the least expensive option, although I personally would throw the combination of a syncbox basic, sitemonitor base 3, and powerinjector+canopy sync at it as that will allow you to power and control any other radios at the site and gain temperature and telemetry for the site. On the syncbox only option, The Syncbox Aux Port get's its power from the radio, just turn on uGPS power in the AP, and run a cat5 from the aux port to this unit. If this isn't based on the AP hardware, then we need to go to plan B, which will probably be a timing port device, but I'll need to research more.
