[Karlnet] RE: Reduction of Karlnet features w/out notification.

[Blair Drew Davis <theory@datawise.net>]

For us, no integrated solution like the KN-50 is useful.  With mostly 
long range shots, we use DB-24 antenna's almost exclusively.  We also 
prefer to have our radio electronics where they can be serviced without 
climbing on to the roof or having to tilt over the antenna mast.  Winter 
weather here can prevent rooftop service for days at a time.  Due to the 
heavy tree infestation of our area, we often have 10-20 foot masts.

Also, having had many bad experiences with PoE, we have just about 
abandoned any use of it.  Every time we had a lightning storm or a windy 
but dry winter day we had to go out and reconfigure or replace our PoE 
clients.

What we really need is a reliable supply of the Ubicomm's Karlnet 
satellites or the upcoming Karlnet satellite flash for the Linksys 
WET11.  As we are currently converting from standard 802.11b AP's to 
Karlnet, the flash for the Linksys's would allow us to preserve much of 
our current hardware investment.

And, one last comment:  The loss of the SC-4700 will make signal testing 
harder for many of us.  Without it, it will be difficult to troubleshoot 
/validate antenna and cable.  Keep this product available, please!!
