Just a question for you guys since I don't have the same issues you may and haven't used any amps (yet?): Assuming you use a 13 dBi antenna with the 17 dB output power of the sb radios, you're at 30 dB -the max allowed by the FCC. Now if sb ups the power (dumb question coming up in 3, 2, 1...) won't you be out of FCC regulations?
If you're not using a 13 dBi antenna, then why not? Is there an advantage to using a lower dBi antenna with an amp instead of using a higher dBi antenna without an amp?
Thanks,
Sevak

Kevin I agree, they need to up the power at least on the APPO's I have begged them to do this on the XO and XO2 They keep saying next year We like the smartBridges and airPoint Pros but we are fighting a severe foliage and tree situation We like the smartBridge radios so much that we are looking for a way to put amps on the access points, till they come out without a more powerful radio We are considering ordering cases for the XO and putting the APPO with amps inside Teletronics makes an amp that would go inside the case and has a 20dBi output I would even special order access points directly from Smartbridges if I could get more powerful access points I am telling you we are tired trying to make the units in the field with not enough power on the access points Joe K -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kevin Sullivan Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 6:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Low power output MessageI would, but there aren't any that are FCC certified with Smartbridges. *sigh* Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: John Hokenson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 2:10 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Low power output Add an amp....

At 56.2 milliwatts it has a lower trasmit power than most off-the-shelf AP's. Is there any way up the power levels?
