[Karlnet] Re: Amps

[Blair Davis <blair@datawise.net>]

I'd have to disagree.  I have a bunch of YDI amps that have given me 
nothing but trouble.  We have tried YDI, Hyperlink, Teletronics and RF 
Linx.  We have removed all the YDI amps from the system.

I have 2 Teletronics amps that have been removed from the system.  They 
each have lost their receive gain.

I now have 3 Hyperlink amps that quit when they get too hot. 

Of the rest, they are about 50/50 between RF Linx and Hyperlink.

I have never had a RF Linx amp fail.

We use top mounted amps on any location that we would not want to climb 
in bad weather.  If it is safe to climb in wind/rain/snow and their is 
power available we mount our radio gear on top.  At this time we no 
longer use POE for access points.

As to a high power KN-50, why not just put a 200mW card in it?  If you 
run max antenna gain, (24db) and a 200mW, (23.5db) card you will be just 
under legal power (47.5db US) for a PtP link.
