•
RF Output Power (dBm)
—The RF output power may be set between
20 and 37 dBm (0.1 to 5 watts) in 1 dB increments. The default
setting is
37 dBm
. Full power is not required in many cases, and
lower settings will place less demand on the DC power supply
and reduce the chance of interference with other stations. Only
the power necessary to carry out reliable communications should
be used.
