I would go with 24v so you know there wont be a problem. Alex can't tell you that because they don't have that in their specs, but we are doing it just fine. At 310' I would worry about your ethernet connection though. We use the Motoralo Canopy Power Shot that is 24V and they use the same pin out as the SB radios.

Thanks.......Dan

ok... so if you goto say.... 150 feet... you need to use the 18v... but
would it be better to use the 24v when your nipping at that 310 foot mark?

Yes I understand some are using higher voltage than 18V, like 24V, and
is working fine and that is the maximum limit I will say. However, we
have to tell you the specification from sB is 18V for cable length
longer than 50m.

Just FYI Alex.....

I have been using a Motorola Canopy 24V power shot on my link for
about 2 months now. I had 3 radio's die at my house before I put the
bigger power supply in. So now the 4 radio has a 24V power supply and
hasn't missed a beat yet. Seems like someone from SB mentioned once
before to never put anything over 24V which gave us the idea. He said
DO NOT USE A 30V POWER SUPPLY. Anyways my 24V power shot has been
working great. Only down side is that I can't default the radio with
the Canopy power shot.


Thanks............Dan
