to...doh!!!

The real issue here is that Brian needs to figure out why he has to
change radio cards and pigtails frequently.
Fix that issue and skip the splitter would be my advice.

Marlon,
Correct, it only applies to open coax (or shorted as in the second
part of my example). Normally all the impedances must match for a good
power transfer, ie, 50ohm transmitter, 50ohm coax, 50ohm antenna. Then
everyone's happy. In line coax has little affect on the signal other

That doesn't apply to inline pieces does it? Only ones that don't terminate
to anything
Otherwise every pigtail would be a disaster in the making

Put in bulkhead type n-f gender benders. I use them all of the time. No
changing the weather sealing. Ever.
Just have to use n-m piggys instead of bulkhead ones.

Lightning has not been very kind to us the past few months. Knocked a
backhaul out on our main tower, another tower hit 3 times (twice in 1 week),
another tower hit this past week, going on 10+ CPE's. I'm told the
probability of lightning over the next 4 months is low. Let's hope.

Hi,
Several weeks ago I posted BridgeWave and GigaBeam prices and quick
features of wireless Gbps gear.
Has anyone tried or know about this option:

5-year hardware warranty; 1Gbps
Pricing is attractive, isn't it (sp
Ya, Blair called and we talked about it. Ok to the next part.
Probably what I should find is a u.fl to mmcx adapter and a mmcx to u.fl
adapter so I can adapt. Expanding from that, is there any such "WISP
emergency include all cable adapter kit" that exists?

This is still a seriously bad idea. Sorry. Unterminated pieces of
coax attached to the system will behave as filters. For instance, a
piece of coax that is 1/4 wavelength long acts as a DEAD SHORT if the
end of it is open. If the end of the coax is shorted then it acts as an

Crown Castle and Global signal are two of the
Giants in the tower industry.
What it does for the WISP industry is make it tougher
to lease from them, historically as they get bigger, if
you are not a cellular carrier you are not of interest
to them.
What it does for the smaller tower owners, is
CC is a tower company...but I don't recall them necessarily being wISP
friendly.
We must assume Blake has had better luck negotiating with CC than Global

I've been told to never do this. The output of the transmitting radio will
totally deafen the receiving one. It might work for just a few customers at
a time (or with something that would sinc like the Moto products) but I
think that much usage on the network would kill it pretty fast.

We had the lightning storm of the century here 2 days
ago. It was an awesome spectacle to witness. It was a much more
distressing spectacle to watch our network map begin to blink red all over the
place. Which leads me to a couple of questions:

Even if the Second radio was turned off, it would still receive the signal
from the other radio, if their was a physical connection/circuit in place.
Without attennuators in line, I'd assume that over time you'd eventually
blow the receiver of the other radio even if it was off. Also possibly so
