Depends on the equipment but the rule of thumb I always was told was to power it up only long enough to disable the radio unless you are using loads. If you don't load the radio and run it long enough, it will indeed be damaged. I have various examples of that laying around from where uf/l connectors had popped off the MT cards. Yeah, they still work but only for close in use now!

I know. I had trazeo FDD radios that other guys had prepared and 'tested.' Their testing was putting them back to back. Like that, even with the wrong channel shields they connected. I was already suspicious about them not working, so I put up the NS5's as a backup plan, put their power all the way down, and set channel width to 5Mhz. When I got to the other side and I could not link with the FDD's, I logged in through someone else's connection to the Nano at the other side and changed both side's settings till they came up. It was awesome to at least link, but it was not stable enough to keep them up. I'd say the link was up about 90% of the time. This brings me to another question. Do radios get damage by not having an antenna connected when powering up? Say just to configure them.
