Scott, Thanks for the info...how does one "burn" the AP's name as the default config?
I am using the default pre-amble...whatever that is. Haven't changed this. If this wasn't set correctly, could it hose the AP? And yes, my first concern was that of signal issues. I noticed a vertically polarized Yagi down on the roof of the shed at the tower (all of our stuff is at the top of the tower). Upon further inspection, I found that it operates near 172 Mhz...could this be interfering with our stuff? I really hope not... Also, we have an amp on our omni antenna. The injector for this is down in the shed. I wonder if the amp is flaking out? I guess I could just bypass the injector and go straight into the card...effectively turning "off" the amp.
