Ah, I have the same problem. I asked mike over at UBNT the other day about that with the Bullet M's. I wanted to know if it was cool to power them up without antenna because I needed to configure 12 of them and I didn't want my eyes to melt. He said it was okay for a short period of time...... That's pretty specific. So to not screw them up and find out later after they are installed I hauled out the rubber ducks and cables and junk. And had the looks from the wife since this was at home. Told her we should install the radios in the fridge so that I could configure the radios and irradiate the food at the same time. She does not smile. That's a general comment about the wife, not about this specific situation.

I hate having to hook up a antenna, LMR and Pigtail every time I test a radio. I am pretty new to this Building my own stuff and not buying preconfigured. Can you just solder a 50 Ohm resister to some pig tails? Or is there a better answer? Steve Barnes Manager PCS-WIN RC-WiFi Wireless Internet Service Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
