Oh, I forgot to ask. Did you use the GPS+GLONASS receiver from GTop on
the new boxes?

We have enough parts left to build around 150 parasitic pipes. This
is about a year's worth at the current sales rate.
We figure once people realize that the new product only requires a
single cable between the ap and the syncbox instead of the current
arrangement, that most people will just buy the new product, making
the parasitic product last even longer.

Just asking because we still have a bunch of FSK that has to keep
working for the time being. And I know that power port sync on
most of those APs doesn't work. So if you're going to discontinue
the parasitic pipe too, then I guess we'll have to order a handful
for spares. Most of that is 900 which we may end up throwing off
of towers in about a year anyway with smart grid coming.

No, and yes.
Parasitic in the sense of the existing product where you run the
power cable through the syncpipe, No. Gigabit has pretty much
killed this as an option for newer radios.
However, there will be a ugps style device where the syncbox
pulls power from the timing or aux port of the radio. This
design is done, except I'm not happy with the robustness of the
power supply circuitry on the board when a power spike / nearby
strike occurs. Once I get this sorted in the next month or so,
that will be released as well.

Are you planning to build a parasitic version of the SyncBox

For those using the older products, the new injectors are
drop in replacements. Same Price, Same size, etc. They
come out of the box configured just like the old injectors -
you even wire them up the same, just ignoring the two new
connections.
The only changes are that if you're needing a 320 or 430
injector you'll need to rejumper them to work with the odd
pinning of these radios. And if you're wanting to use the
dual power rail functionality and/or a different pinning
style, you'll need to rejumper them as well.
Just think of them as an enhanced version of the old, not
really a different product.

So the old 10/100 SyncInjector is gone? Damn. Oh well,
guess we need to start using the new stuff anyway.

The pdu design will be ground specific. The solid
state relay design will be isolated so it doesn't matter.

Will the -48 PDU be strictly positive ground, or

I.E.: Could I stock the one PDU for either type of
loads, or would I have to have separate +V and -V
PDU's?

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] -48 PDU
I have around 10 or so new/revised products which
will be shipping over the next few months. (4 of
the ones in our backlog have just started
shipping the last couple of weeks, and others are
coming off the pipeline shortly).
At least two of the coming products are intended
to fix the lack of -48VDC support. One of which
is the addition of a 5PDU for -48VDC (which is
able to be powered from the -48VDC power source
so it doesn't need a base unit). The other one
I can think of right now is there's a 6 channel
solid state relay coming as well. Both will
switch -48VDC at at least 3A. The PDU has a
maximum-all-channels limit of I think 8A. The
SSR module will not have this limit.
I can build a -48VDC PDU on the existing board:
To date I have not had any customers ask me to
do so once I have explained that this module
would have to be connected to a base unit, and
rebooting or losing the power to the base unit
would result in all of the -48VDC loads attached
to the PDU being shut off during the power loss
or reboot. This is also the reason it is not
currently on the website as an option.

I asked Forrest about doing a -48 version of
the 5ch PDU. He said it would need some
tweaking since the PDU itself is powered by
the main input, kinda like a SyncInjector.
Depending on your current, you could use a
regular 4-relay exp. module to switch the hot
wire for each device. Should be able to
handle about 1A @ 48VDC. Next question is,
would a -48 version of the PDU support say
1.5A per port? I know you can set the per
port limit to 3000mA, but I'm not sure if
it'd be capable of that between 44 and 58VDC.
I want to say I remember him saying 1.5A
should be OK.
I have some Trango licensed radios that I'd
like to get on remote power control, but so
far there's nothing to handle them. Nothing
that I like anyway. And the problem there is
the damn 75-80 watts of power they use.

Is there a relatively cheap device that can

I'm thinking like $100-200 kind of cheap.
Small and DIN mount would be best.
The packetflux PDU has a negative ground, so
that's already out.
