[MLB-WIRELESS] New Node to be

[Ratbaggy]

Hi Michael,

Not too much better really as the DWL900AP+ runs off 5 Volts.  .65 X 5=3.25 
Watts.  Pretty inefficient if you run it from a linear regulator from 12V 
though!

I do like the units with built in switchmode power supplies such as 
Minitars, Sparklans & WRT's that run on anything from 6V to 16V.  Great for 
POE.

For the next AP in a shrub exercise I can supply you with a nice little 
switchmode, should make the battery last a bit longer!

Dave.
