[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...
Re: [AFMUG] Is it safe to turn on an 11ghz radio without an antenna?
if it's a waveguide interface, so it should be fine. Have done that with several brands. bp On 9/23/2016 8:27 AM, Mathew Howard wrote: 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?

SAF had the square thing that bolts right up to the antenna. Does the Mimosa have the same?

It's a bit different, but it is a waveguide interface, so I'm thinking it should be fine.

SAF recommended having a box of paper between the two units. I'd do that or similar, I used a concrete wall.

Re: [AFMUG] Is it safe to turn on an 11ghz radio without an antenna?
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. :) 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 > From: "Mathew Howard" > To: "af" > 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...
Re: [AFMUG] Is it safe to turn on an 11ghz radio without an antenna?
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 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.

Re: [AFMUG] Is it safe to turn on an 11ghz radio without an antenna?
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.

Well... I meant the traditional coordination process part 101 such as for a new 23 GHz link, not "get a blanket license and self report all your new links which you can use immediately".
