Are you sure that is accurate? MTI makes several size antenna. You might be confusng dissimilar models? I've seen 1-2 db difference between polarity on occassion, but never 4 db. Horizontal itself, is NOT plaqued by having less DB. It is most likely a circumstance related to the design of the sp

Hi Mike, Yes, the OPS-DC could take your 24VDC source and power any of our VL radios. It has a DC to DC converter that provides the properly formed 55VDC component to run the VL radio. You would not need a 24V POE injector. The OPS-DC is the injector. Eric Albert Application Engineer Alvarion,
