SXT G-5HPacD: Can't adjust TX Power

Thu Aug 21, 2014 9:16 am

Hello. I noticed that new SXT AC doesn't show the current TX Power (http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... er#p442289). I haven't tried yet Netbox, but it must be the same.

That's a "minor" bug but... really we can't adjust the TX-Power!

You can't set "Card Rates" (it says "Not Supported")

If you set "Default", it transmits at full power (I believe) (violating some laws...)

If you set "All rates fixed", and set any value (for example, 10 or 15 dBm), it transmits at 0dbm

I have tried 6.18, and 6.19RC, but it's the same.

When will it be solved? This product is useless for us until this is solved....

Is just me or it occurs to everybody?

Regards

You cannot set "card rates" with most newer devices.
I just tested with "all rates fixed" on Netbox 5 and I can change it. It works because I see the change in the signal, but in current tx power it always shows 0 which is a bug. Should be fixed in next versions.

Someone can test on a SXT AC?

400m PtP Link.
Default rates: -46dBm RX
All rates fixed (any value from 1 to 15): -69dBm RX

Thanks

We tested using default, with the regulatory domain set, and increasing antenna gain on the wireless tab, which does decrease transmit power.

Tested it on all rates fixed and no transmission, do I'm assuming it set the card to 0dbm regardless of the setting
