Re: [AFMUG] RF Calibration Failure ADI Catalina R0 chip not supported!

This was a known issue back in the day.  Don't remember if it was a
hardware thing or a software thing.   I'm assuming you've got the latest
supported firmware in it?

Re: [AFMUG] Mimosa confirms the USA is weird

[Mathew Howard]

It is a little odd, but it happens sometimes...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually 8mm, and they just say 5/16"
because that's  more common for nut drivers (in the US, anyway).

[AFMUG] Rohn 25 on metal building

[TJ Trout]

I'm building a 40x40 or possibly 50x60 steel building. I would like to
install a guyed 25g on the peak (about 20ft peak from ground level with
16ft walls)

If I guy off 4 times how high can I go?

Any way to do 100ft or ten sections ? I'm assuming my guy span isn't far
out enough.

I know what's on the drawings but I am looking for some real world
feedback

Thank you very much

I agree we should be looking at dual slant.  I think I'll revisit our design

  Are you setting up all of your 900mhz 450I to be dual-pol instead of 
dual-slant? That simplifies procuring antennas but is not to Cambium standard. 
It depends how flat the ground around you is, but at that distance the downtilt 
will usually be zero.

Re: [AFMUG] Down tilt for 450i

[Mathew Howard]

What dual polarity 900mhz antennas are you finding that aren't slant?

Also, it works fine to mix slant and H/V between the APs and SMS with
PMP450.

Re: [AFMUG] Making epmp connect faster/ site survey

[Mathew Howard]

Cutting unnecessary stuff out of the scan list does help, but beyond that I
haven't been able to find anything that makes much difference. It seems
like it takes longer when you have a weak signal... I kind of wonder if
that's by design to keep them from connecting to the wrong AP to quickly.
