I need to hear from you all on the r52’s performance compared to the sr5.
The sr5 has been the best card we have used but we are running low on channels so we have to change over to the 10mhz bandwidth channels.
The sr5 listens on 20mhz so I think it may become a problem if I try to run to many 10mhz channels.
The r52 would be the right card to use but I have to think in our noisy area the r52 may not have to power to handle the 5 mile links.
Any thoughts?
Umm…the SR5 works on 5mhz and 10mhz channels, as well as 20mhz and 40mhz.
SMA
Yes, but on the sr2 and sr5 in only transmits on 5 and 10mhz. It listens on a minimum of 20mhz.
So, if it’s hearing the traffic of the other channels it’s going to cause a problem at the tower site where I will have all these channels running.
YES / NO ! ? !
Yes, that is how I understand it as well. Currently the SR5 can only RX on 20MHz and 40MHz width channels, but can TX on 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz channel widths.
The newer Atheros chipset (not sure of model number) is supposed to be capable of TX and RX on the 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz channel widths.
Best,

indly see the file 2.5-2.7 Ghz already having frequency , can you check for extending frequency from 2.7 ghz to 2.8 Ghz (2.512 - 2.732 (20 MHz step, channels 15-26) - optional license required )
MY MAIN REQIUREMENT IS 2.7 TO 2.8 GHZ ANY SUGGESTION
I have done extensive testing in the 2.4ghz range comparing the EMP-8602, and the SR2 cards, on small channels. When it came to CDMA backoff, speeds, and interference I was unable to find any ‘real world’ differences.
This was to my surprise as I was hoping that moving the the 6th gen atheros would help reduce the CDMA backoff behaviour by increasing the seperation between the channels I use at my main tower site.
For SR5 and 5ghz results may be better as every channel is already spaced by 20Mhz whereas in 2.4ghz its only 5mhz spacing.
Hi. Kindly, may you tell us how you got the 2.5-2.7 Ghz? And on what Card and with which license upgrade? Have been looking for an answer on the Forum for the past two months!
Thx.
afaik, only old 5212 cards can go to 2.5-2.7 gh band…
I have couple of old dlink g520 that can do that…
and ralink also can, but ralink is not supported in mikrotik…
Do you mean CSMACD? 'cause that’s different from CDMA…
