Let's not forget that Tx powers may not be the same across the band.

I have been told it has similar power ratings as the 5.8ghz band? Can anyone give me the right info. I need a new PTP link and need to avoid dfs. Also, the PMP 450i running in this band only sm that has 5.1ghz is the 450i sm right? Thanks, Craig. Craig R. Schmaderer CEO | Skywave Wireless, Inc.
