Re: [AFMUG] Searching for a simple Desktop PC
With HP most of their systems will have VGA and either a displayport or HDMI connection but they natively support dual monitors. On the refurbished HP side you may want to look at the ProDesk line. I've been a big fan of the ProDesk Mini because it's the size of a thin client, most come with SSD, at least an i5 processor, and have dual displayports for dual monitors. You'll need to up your budget a bit though. I don't know if you'll find anything in that range that has dual HDMI specifically, but you could get any off the shelf desktop and add discrete graphics.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Apple abandoning development of wireless routers

I've done this with an Airport extreme in my house and an Airport express in my detached garage and it works seamlessly.

Re: [AFMUG] Tesla 7kWh powerwall as UPS?
I just looked into it a bit more - it's a little more advanced than a UPS. They've got a couple of videos and an FAQ that talk about it. Nothing too in-depth of course, so we won't know until it comes to market how well it works. Looks like what it does is monitor energy usage and then only output that amount of power back into the wall to power items on the same breaker. In the event of grid failure it'll actually trip the breaker to prevent backfeeding the grid. It's an interesting per room/breaker solution. Might be good for something like refrigerators or deep freezes.

Re: [AFMUG] OT - Captilism (was Martin Shkreli)
I wish I could find the article, but it basically said that the reason there aren't other mfgr's of the drug has to do with the costs of getting it FDA approved. Since the average person who needs the drug only uses a few doses, it's very hard to reach ROI at $13/pill or whatever it was. The fact that he drove the price up 5000% was just him being an asshole and trying to make a bunch of money off of his purchase. At one point, another company did make a non-FDA approved generic they were selling for like $1/pill, but you couldn't get it through normal medical channels or something (it classified as one of those "experimental" drugs even though it was the same formula).

As far as capitalism, the approach is to find something that is inexpensive to make and has been around forever and there is only one supplier because there isn’t enough demand for multiple suppliers. So you buy that supplier and jack the price up to ridiculous levels until a competitor can go through getting government approval to compete, which can take a year or more. Meanwhile, you make a bazillion percent profit, because of a temporary market failure. That isn’t really capitalism. It’s exploiting a loophole.

I think it is a reflection of the simple fact that there are fewer rooms available on that particular night than are demanded at $159.

Re: [AFMUG] Angry landlord over Roof mount antenna
If the landlord owns the property, they should ultimately have the final say. If the tenant did indeed lie/withhold the information in this case, bye-bye deposit. I get the OTARD argument, but I can guarantee if I was renting a townhouse and a tenant didn't ask for permission to mount something to the roof and drill holes, not only would the antenna be coming down but they'd either be fixing it or out on their asses sans deposit. It would definitely be part of the lease agreement. Personally, I'm of the group that believes you catch more flies with honey than vinegar so I would work with the landlord to make it right. If you handle things properly, you may actually end up gaining business - especially if he/she has other properties and is satisfied with how you resolved the issue. I'm betting they are just pissed right now about it and will cool off to a more reasonable level in the next few days.

"Exclusive use" means an area of the property that only you, and persons you permit, may enter and use to the exclusion of other residents. For example, your condominium or apartment may include a balcony, terrace, deck or patio that only you can use, and the rule applies to these areas. /The rule does not apply to common areas, such as the roof/, the hallways, the walkways or the exterior walls of a condominium or apartment building. Restrictions on antennas installed in these common areas are not covered by the Commission's rule. /For example, the rule would //*not*//apply to restrictions that prevent drilling through the exterior wall //of a condominium or rental unit and thus restrictions may prohibit installation that requires such drilling./ Don't think so. The rules are clear that permitted restrictions have to be "reasonable" and if there is a "conflict" the burden of proof is on the landlord. Further, restrictions cannot violate the impairment clause in section 2.2 i.e. may not unreasonable delay or increase costs, or preclude reception or transmission of an acceptable quality signal.

Re: [AFMUG] 5.1 Band FCC
In this case I have a PTP650 with integrated antennas on SW 1-11 operating in 5.4GHz. Assuming the band itself is clean, I *think* I should be able to install at least SW load 1-21 to make 5.1GHz available.

Re: [AFMUG] 900 MHz 450....
That's exactly it. This isn't a product aimed towards the guys that advertise streaming, nor is it aimed towards a user base that wants to do solely that. It's a product designed for the customer with no other good options. With the data caps on cellular 4G and the all around piss-poor performance of satellite, some customers only have 900MHz Canopy as another viable option aside from dialup. In our area it's going to be big for the company that purchased our WISP - especially since the group they are a part of who owns their 700MHz spectrum is flirting with selling it to ATT.

I know many of us can’t make the same statements about noise floor or customer expectations, but some people consistently say they want such a product. And who knows, maybe there’s some magic, too?

Re: [AFMUG] Structured Cabling - Looking for Ideas
My house is only about 1000 sq ft so I'm not terribly worried about future proofing it for fiber as it will be incredibly easy to rewire later on down the road should a future homeowner decide to do so. I'm also not too interested in what buyers want as I'm the one that wants wired networking. There's enough wireless networks in the neighborhood that wireless throughput is terrible, so I want something better for VoD with DirecTV, Amazon and Netflix. The biggest benefit for me will be relocation of the coax TV jacks that are on all the wrong walls right now.

Except of course you can't do POE over fiber. People with houses wired for data typically have money, so I recommend a wired router like an RB2011iL-IN in the basement and then wireless APs in rooms as needed using the wiring in the walls. That avoids the hairpin wiring issue. Or you could put a small wired router like a 750/950 series in the basement plus a POE switch, that way the APs could be powered off POE, and they could install other POE stuff like security cameras, VoIP phones, etc. You could also put a central UPS in the basement, powering the CPE radio and the router/switch, plus anything throughout the house powered via POE would stay live in a power outage. Of course people with money building a new house probably have a Generac on a pad outside anyway.

This doesn't work very good for wireless at all. Also, they rarely install power in the Leviton boxes so no ability for POE or router to be there anyway. We usually end up tying in to the wire to the eve, then splicing again to one of the rooms, then placing the router in that room. This leaves you with no options for a wired network as all four pair are used to get the POE to that room. If they have two CAT-5E cables ran to the room they can use one back to the Leviton box and then install a switch in the box (assuming again that you have an AC outlet in the box.

I told him to take the power supply completely out of the box so the guy doesnt claim the power supply capacitors must still have power going to the radio I also told him to not let the guy powercycle the 650 unless our radio is powered on because it will probably come back up and perform, so if our radio is powered down, of course its our radio causing the problems The whole point of this thread was to say the interface on the 650 is really cool and to find out about ATPC on the 650, but when i got the email telling me it was relayed to the landlord that its a combination of our radio and local interference I got really pissed. Going out on a limb and saying maybe there is not directly a physical issue looking at the fluctuations on both sides output power (-15 to 21) and receive power (-47 to -78) with an ATPC threshold set to -35 (is this the default value?) The numbers make sense, output power is ranging 36db and receive powers are ranging 31db. EXCEPT that when i was on them the remote transmit was 21 and the local rx was -78, its not correlated to the range of numbers. so our radio was on 5755 i think at the time before i moved it, 10mhz. so for the sake of argument their 650 was also sitting on 5755 for whatever reason, and we will say it was recieving at the linkplanner target of -61 and had a -35 threshold on ATPC, if my ubnt had some sort of massive fart and hit the 650 antenna with more energy than -35, could the 650 assume that additional energy is coming from the remote and and issue an ATPC power down? would that account for all the tx power and rx power fluctuations? What I dont understand is since the peak rx was -47, why would the tx have even dropped if atpc was functioning especially don as low as a negative 15 Are there any bugs with ATPC with the 650? I dont recall there being any real configurable atpc parameter in the 3/500 series.

Just commenting on the receiver front-end overload on rockets (and other UBNT AirMax radios). I'm sure this probably happens on MikroTik radios too. EPMP? Don't have any to test.

I highly doubt that a brand new 650 would go deaf the minute it is powered on, and had it gone deaf the minute it was powered on, I doubt the spectrum would show well defined hills and valleys so clearly you can tell the channel size of the interfering systems, it would more likely either be fairly flatline or constantly in flux On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 12:44 AM, Josh Reynolds via Af mailto:af@afmug.com>> wrote: This is exactly what I am talking about.
