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.

I usually leave the power where it's coordinated and rarely see it hotter than -40 or so. 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.

Just don't forget to set the power as per your coordination when you are mounting / before you are trying to align. :) Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: supp...@snappytelecom.net <mailto:supp...@snappytelecom.net> _____ From: "Mathew Howard" <mailto:mhoward...@gmail.com> <mhoward...@gmail.com> To: "af" <mailto:af@afmug.com> <af@afmug.com> Sent: Friday, September 23, 2016 11:27:11 AM Subject: [AFMUG] Is it safe to turn on an 11ghz radio without an antenna? 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... --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
