Re: Will this hurt my radio? Change the pol on one of the radios. Make one of the units Vertical pol and the other Horizontal pol. The radios will eventually go deaf if the signal is too strong. |

The long term damage potential can be clarified by the RF circuit designer at Tranzeo. The typical antenna TX/RX switch is OK with 0dBm level but many 802.11 receiver circuits saturate with much lower RSSI.
This is a result of biasing analog-to-digital converter for very low level signals like -90dBm which occur in indoor wireless LANs. Even with 12-bit ADC circuit, the saturation point will be in the -30dBm range. With 8-bit ADC it will be in the -50dBm range. |
