[MLB-WIRELESS] Minitar specs

[Sebastian Najnert]

Quote from below: "SVEC outputs 15dbm/30mw, Minitar output 18dbm/40mw"

If the Minitar output is 18dBm, wouldn't that be 60mw?

I was doing some research on the SVEC power output tweek.
the stuff i read said it's a bad thing(tm).

a SVEC outputs 15dbm/30mw of rf energy, which occupies 22Mhz of the
2.4ghz ISM band.
when you modify them to 100mw then the output polutes the entire 2.4Ghz
ISM band and
it also has harmonics down in the MDS spectrum and up in the amatuer
radio 2.4Ghz
spectrum.

The Minitar output 18dbm/40mw from the factory and only occupy 22Mhz of
the ISM band.
I wouldn't want to try and run a couple of hacked SVEC's within the same
RF area, and I
currently have 2 AP's and a ad-hoc link coming into/intersecting my
property. It could
be somewhat of a mess :/

Personally I'm leaning towards using Minitar equipment due to the higher
output levels
and web config, SVEC's are a bitch to configure for those of us who use
macs :)
