Thanks for posting the complete accurate data. Note: Trango standard does 22dbm QPSK and 19dbm 256QAM, thus longer range. > They have a high power model that does +25 at QPSK and +17 at 256 QAM > at 11GHz. Thats much better, and good to know... Didn't realize that, since its not publisized on their web spec sheet, I last got. Quick question on connectors.... I saw that they offer it in dual CAT5 or Dual Fiber, and the spec sheet showed a picture of the fiber ports. What type fiber connector is that? It didn't look standard, from the photo.
