Nathan from Wisper just explained the situation to our class of 56 here at WISPAmerica. I wish I'd recorded it. He explained just re- flashing 320 SM connected to a Compact base station from the Motorola software load to the TELRAD software load changed the SM performance from reading 27 dBm output, yet being connected at lower modulations to dBm readings of - 9 to +3, yet a achieving full modulation. Same SM hardware. That's one example of just how much better even our firmware is. Nick says that is related to the superiority of ATPC algorithm.
