Did you use the AirGateway or AirGatewayLR ? From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Adam Moffett Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2015 3:30 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Battery driven Multi-platform site suvey tool
Oh yeah.� Before I built the flashlight kit, I really considered getting one of these Veracity VAD-PS things.<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=728216&gclid=Cj0KEQjw3M6oBRDnnIywo5i287ABEiQAXRm7S76-Q0qHRUb-o_qn1x-0mocQBMheH7ZK1yBfA761cxsaAnUy8P8HAQ&Q=&is=REG&A=details> It provides 802.3af output, has an SLA battery inside, and has a 12v accessory port.� The trouble was, I figured I'd end up using the accessory port for almost everything I'd want to power, and also the battery supposedly isn't replaceable (I assume you can always replace the battery with a hacksaw).� The only good thing about it was it looked a lot more pro compared to showing up with home made tools.� It might not look so pro after I glue a wifi AP on the side of it, so that isn't that great either.
