MDS 05-2708A01, Rev. A MDS TransNET I/O Guide 13
For convenience, Table 3 lists several antenna system gains and shows the
maximum allowable power setting of the radio. Note that a gain of 6 dB or less
entitles you to operate the radio at full power output—30 dBm (1 watt).
* Most antenna manufacturers rate antenna gain in dBd in their
literature. To convert to dBi, add 2.15 dB.
† Feedline loss varies by cable type and length. To determine the
loss for common lengths of feedline, see
Table 2 on page 12 for
the MDS TransNET 900™ transceiver.
5.0 INSTALLATION
Figure 11 shows a typical transceiver product shipment (board versions of
OEM shipments will differ). Check the contents against the packing list
secured to the outside of the shipping box. Accessories and spare parts kits, if
any, are wrapped separately. Inspect all items for signs of damage and save all
packing materials for possible re-shipment.
