Now that you mention it I'm not sure what the equivalent would be in
metric.
You could express it in Watts, but I'm not sure that counts as metric.

And yet I’ll bet the power is specified in horsepower. Maybe that’s a

When comparing engines, 1 liter is 60 cubic inch....or near enough.
The 1.6L engine in my Hyundai is pretty standard for compact cars these
days, but that's less than 100 cubic inch. Did they ever make an
engine for a car that small when they measured them in CI?
When I think of it in terms of CI, I would seem like I'm driving 4 weed
trimmers down the street....but it actually feels pretty spunky.

Liter I have not got memorized. I think a 12 oz can of soda is about
350 something.
Just looked it up, 354, so like a Chevy 454 but 354 instead. I
wonder if that will stick...
2.2 lbs per kg that one is easy.

I use these factors almost every day. I would hope most folks have
them memorized.
231 is a bit more obscure (cubic inches per gallon)
I still have a hard time doing the F to C. I know the ratio is 9/5 -
5/9 but the add/subtract 32 bit before/after the conversion is
something I have to futz with.
Normally I use a known conversion like 20-68 degrees and then play
with the formula until it yields the correct answer and then I know
it for a few minutes until the next time.

So having dealt with multiple links, I can tell you that if you
are missing some db's it has to do with alignment.
We are seeing -55/-59 on our 450m link
and on our 250m link we are seeing -43/-47 signal (and had to
reduce power on 60ghz on one side.. .i.e. we are not aligned
perfectly )
So I can say affirmatively there is no 'missing power' it has
to do with alignment...

It would be appropriate to point out that there are two
versions or Metrolinq 60ghz Radios one smaller lower power and
other larger higher power.
We have been using the larger units (Circular cones) for links
250m to 450m successfully.. aiming them with the shipping
brackets is a whole another challenge.. I am very happy to the
the LR brackets available and those should go long ways is
aligning longer links. .

We haven't had any issues with 5GHz but the 60GHz side
underwhelms. We tried a 900' link and couldn't get the 60Ghz
side to work. We were able to move one end and get it down
to 600' and have a 60GHz link at -55 but that is 10-15db
below where it should be. It's working, but at this point I
wouldn't use it for anything over 500' or so.

Interesting.. most folks have the opposite issue.
FWIW, there is no dfs support on 5ghz (not sure about
non-american rules).
If you are bench testing... you need to turn down the power
on 5ghz .. way down....

Got my first links. 60GHz work fine in lab. The 5GHz Part
does strange things. Does not initialze or does not
connect.
Syslog gives dfs or cant initialize messages.
60GHz is up immediately und runs stable in lab. Latency is
low. Feels like a 1G cable connection. Powered by Netonix
24V.
Takes only 6 Watts. Good build quality. Webinterface is
easy and fast.
So a cheap option for fast short hops where you dont want
to dig.
