Re: ARGH! Ubnt radios freezing! This is general info for all radios: higher amplifier power levels always have higher possibility of communication errors. Similarly oscillators running outside temperature specs may introduce errors in CPU/RAM and Ethernet operation.
These failure mechanisms start appearing (randomly) when IC internal temperature falls outside spec. Windchill just brings the internal temperature down more quickly. |

Cold Lake, AB | In my case the radio link was still running. It was unable to return pings properly or pass data. It could have been the oscillator/clock, but then why should I expect that lowering the power level would help in that situation? |

said by bburley: but then why should I expect that lowering the power level would help in that situation? As temperature goes down, power amplifier draws more current and becomes a bit more non-linear ... which causes a bit more bit errors. If you lower the PA dBm level, the situation always improves as long as the link margin is good.  |
