Re: [WISPA] Multiple Radio cards in an enclosure
Titan Wireless offers an upgrade option when ordering this enclosure that replaces all the steel with stainless. Looks nicer, goes together nicer, and doesn't rust.

Even if it's not on the tower it is difficult if the bottom mounting ear is attached. Plus- they weather badly and look horrible after a year. Plus- the 4 screws for the cover rust. Plus- we don't see how, but the weatherproof gland that protects the RJ45 socket on the bottom somehow allows water in. We will lose connectivity and then go up the tower only to find the plug completely corroded in the jack. Instant need to replace the radio. We have one dow right now that has half a city's mesh network down, as it is a signal injection source point.

I am interested in the multiple radios in an enclosure idea. I do have a couple with 5.8 and 2.4 gear in the same box, but have been afraid to put cards in the same band in the same case. The foil spacer you put between cards Bob, do you then ground it to create a sort of Faraday shield? I know the XRx cards do a good job of shielding if you attach the pigtail. How about the receive sensitivity on the 411 cards? Has that been an issue? I think the XR cards have better specs. Wouldn't having multiple 411 cards in the same box possibly have desense issues too?

That's one that I'm doing just to do it, basically. Was an idea from someone a couple of months ago.

You already have 35 pulling it down, sounds like if you just do 2 180's, if split evenly (and it never will be) that would put you to where you probably want to be for smooth delivery but not much room for more growth. I'd go with 3 120's and a 433AH with 3 cards on it, one per sector. I have a few like that and it works fine for what I do but again, I only dole out 1mb per sub typically.

Sometimes folks are routed to Netflix streaming mirrors which aren't the best, and therefore play at a lower resolution.

If you check the Roku player forums you will find this advise coming from their engineers as well. So basically you are saying its best to use a DNS server on your cheapest backbone provider?

[WISPA] Mikrotik Serial Port Monitoring
Before I go over to the MT forums and get treated like an idiot (they are somehow able to see through my clever disguise, darn it!) I'm looking for anyone who has used the serial pins on the Routerboard to send an on/off signal. I have a home brew solar install that runs an AP but there are times, like many cloudy days in a row, things don't charge as well and the battery will drop and then I lose the AP. I have a backup battery I carry with me and I swap the things from time to time but still, sometimes it drops out. I'm cheap, so bear with me here. I know there are lots of things I can buy ($$$) to do what I want to do but I'm a maverick, a rebel, a guy who knows just enough to screw everything up and almost enough to fix some of it. So I only want the MT to send me a message that the battery is low. I have an el-cheapo device, cost me fifteen bucks, that will monitor the battery and turn on 3 lights ,Good, Low and You better get here or the phone is gonna start ringing. If I can take the voltage that is sent to my low led and use that to send a signal to the serial port then I think I'd be almost there. Older versions of RouterOS had a package that would monitor the serial port but from what I read, it's no more. Was it substituted with anything? If so, I can't find it. Any help is welcome, just don't send me to the forums, those guys are ruthless! Robert West Just Micro Digital Services Inc. 740-335-7020 WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Serial Port Monitoring
I know it might be out of some peoples budget, but a PacketFlux Sitemonitor ($99.95) and a shunt ($50 I think) will do what you want. It is what we use on our solar sites, and we graph/monitor them to make sure that the voltage stays high enough.

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Serial Port Monitoring
Could I afford it? Yeah, I could. I just have that streak of innovation in me (just plain cheap) and I have a little time to tinker. 150 bucks is darn cheap enough to be sure and I'll probably do that once I spend 2 to 3 hundred bucks being cheap.

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Serial Port Monitoring
There are some really cool (and cheap) ASIC boards with Ethernet based connectivity that you need to write a custom program for but you could get really fancy with. They have A/D converters and you could monitor the battery voltage accurately, and you could have the device email you at the desired voltage set points and you could have it email you each day with the battery voltage. It would take some work but it could be nice. I would be a little concerned about how well buffered the serial port lines are on the MT board. You might want to use some opto-isolators for your interface.

[WISPA] health insurance
Hi, What are everyone else's plans if this new health insurance plan gets passed in Congress? We fall in the 25-100 employee category, so they are estimating our health insurance costs would go up $412 per employee for us (we already cover 100% of the costs for our employees). So, basically this would force us to go to a subcontractor type work-force (at least for 5-10 of our current employees) to get us under the 25 employee limit and offer less benefits for everyone in the company. Once again, it seems our government is stepping in where it doesn't belong. Either take over the health care system 100% (including funding it), or leave it alone. Travis Microserv WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] health insurance
H.. I feel an increase in the use of the 1099 form would be the easy answer. I lived as a 1099 for many years. I'm with you on your feelings of get all the way in or get all the way out. I'd prefer they get all the way in and just do it because, honestly, it will happen in the end anyhow. Why put it off and cause more suffering? I know, politics doesn't belong here usually and I won't be hit like that but it is an issue for some of us. (And as far as I'm concerned they can give gays marriage also and just get it the heck out of the way finally, sheeesh! Why should I be the only one to suffer through marriage???) But the reality is that many companies are going to go to making who they can a 1099 contractor and that's going to open up another can of left in the sun worms. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Travis Johnson Sent: Saturday, December 05, 2009 7:50 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] health insurance Hi, What are everyone else's plans if this new health insurance plan gets passed in Congress?

Re: [WISPA] health insurance
I think you're absolutely right. We don't see health care costs anywhere on our paperwork up here in the frozen North (yes, it is snowing in the last couple of days). We just pay higher taxes to cover it which is simply a fact of life. Everyone gets a health card that is just a different coloured drivers license, literally. You show the card when you go for care. It works pretty well, we don't worry about where we go for care as the card is valid anywhere and everywhere, we just get on with the job. Simple is good. I had a great health plan living in Florida, but boy was it complicated working out what I could and could not do when it came to care. And it changed from time to time and you had to work it out all over again. As you say; get in and get it done, or get out.

Re: [WISPA] health insurance
As a business owner, in Florida, where the Health Insurance is one of the highest in the US, we have seeing 15-20% increses every year for the last few years. It is nice to see that you offer 100% health insurance coverage for all of your Employees, where the company is picking up the Tab for the Insurance Premiums. Simply for the sake of my understanding, why would you choose to force us to go to a subcontractor type work-force (at least for 5-10 of our current employees) to get us under the 25 employee limit and . offer less benefits for everyone in the company At the end of the day, $412 / employee is not a whole lot of money, especially when you are talking about a benfit like Health Insurance... If you are looking to have some means of off-setting the additional $$$, would'nt it me easier and better for everyone if you reduced your Company provided 100% coverage to let's say 90%, and have the Employee pay the other 10% ? What are your current costs for Health Insurnace ? We are seeing typically $300-$400 / month for a single male, and $1300-$1450 /month for a family From what we have been seeing in the last few years, including our present coverage increase (approx $8100/year for 3 families)... $412 /year increase would be a Blessing and a Christmas present... --- Just a thought.

Re: [WISPA] health insurance
Call me cheap I guess. I have a $229/mo plan for my family of 4 (5 in a week or so). $7500 deductible. Next year my rate will drop, after the insurance company re-rates their HSA rates I'll be moving to the $10,000 deductible plan, that will be an absolutely no benefits until 10k is paid. I don't mind it, I'd rather not have to pay the extra per month. Just a quick comparison, if I pay $229/mo vs $650/mo, if I max my deductible for the year I pay $1698 more than Marlon, but if I only hit $750, I saved $5052. I'd rather put money in the bank and have it work for me than giving it to an insurance company. -Kevin On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 10:16 PM, Marlon K.

It is nice to see that you offer 100% health insurance coverage for all of your Employees, where the company is picking up the Tab for the Insurance Premiums. Simply for the sake of my understanding, why would you choose to force us to go to a subcontractor type work-force (at least for 5-10 of our current employees) to get us under the 25 employee limit and . offer less benefits for everyone in the company At the end of the day, $412 / employee is not a whole lot of money, especially when you are talking about a benfit like Health Insurance... If you are looking to have some means of off-setting the additional $$$, would'nt it me easier and better for everyone if you reduced your Company provided 100% coverage to let's say 90%, and have the Employee pay the other 10% ? What are your current costs for Health Insurnace ? We are seeing typically $300-$400 / month for a single male, and $1300-$1450 /month for a family From what we have been seeing in the last few years, including our present coverage increase (approx $8100/year for 3 families)... $412 /year increase would be a Blessing and a Christmas present... --- Just a thought.

We fall in the 25-100 employee category, so they are estimating our health insurance costs would go up $412 per employee for us (we already cover 100% of the costs for our employees). So, basically this would force us to go to a subcontractor type work-force (at least for 5-10 of our current employees) to get us under the 25 employee limit and offer less benefits for everyone in the company. Once again, it seems our government is stepping in where it doesn't belong. Either take over the health care system 100% (including funding it), or leave it alone. Travis Microserv WISPA Wants You!
