They have like eleventy billion $, I'm sure they can afford some spares.

Maybe it's easier for them to keep spares if every link is the same

An 800 yard 11 GHz link? Really? If ever there was a scenario that
called for a 60 or 80 GHz radio system... Or if they absolutely
insisted that a part 101 licensed link was necessary, 23 GHz and 1'
antennas.

Yep, I do that frequently. Just point them up at the ceiling. I
usually leave the power where it's coordinated and rarely see it

A local chemical company coordinated an 800 yard (really!?) 11GHz
link. Their coordinated Rx was like -25dBm. Uh, OK. I forget what
it was, maybe a PTP820.

you should be fine..
put them side by side next to or close to each other.
don't point them at each other...
and they come with power turned down 6db ......
Just don't forget to set the power as per your coordination when
you are mounting / before you are trying to align.

Can I safely setup an 11ghz radio (Mimosa B11, in this case)
on the bench without attaching it to the dish, or is there a
risk it'll damage the radio?
I seem to remember being told it was fine to turn on our
SAFs without dishes, and I'm assuming these would be the
same, but that was a long time ago...
