[AFMUG] DC surge supression

2020-06-15 Thread Josh Baird
For those of you running DC up the tower, what are you using for surge
suppression at the top and bottom?

I have seen these mentioned previously on this list:

https://www.winncom.com/en/products/1101-626

Anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks,

I was talking to Ken Ruppel w/ Aviat about this just last week, we are
going to utilize the one they recommended for top of tower:

I may consider the din rail one for in the box.

Re: [AFMUG] Alibaba LiFePO4 48V 200Ah battery packs?

2020-06-15 Thread Harold Bledsoe
Not an answer to your question but FWIW I got some 12V/100AH batteries from 
Meritsun to use in a golf cart and those have worked very well so far.  These 
are wired in series to do 48V that the golf cart needs.

If anyone is using the lifepo4 rack mount batteries could you comment on which 
capacity you went with?

I'm trying to figure out which capacity is the best form factor in terms of 
weight size etc.

Strange that the 200ah unit is marginally larger but twice the weight. The 
100ah unit just be partially empty inside.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Alibaba LiFePO4 48V 200Ah battery packs?

Chuck, something you may want to consider in your calculations is that I am 
comfortable taking LiFePO4 batteries to 100% DOD, whereas I never go below 50% 
DOD for my AGM backup systems. I guess one could make a case that I’m not 
cycling my AGM systems very much, so I shouldn’t care about the huge cycle life 
penalties of 100% DOD in which case your spreadsheet is still valid.

But assuming we go with the 50% DOD argument, I can fit 4x170Ah AGMs in the 
bottom of my racks:

4x Deka 170Ah 12AVR1700-ET @ $495 = $1980 (120 lbs x 4 = 480 lbs)
@50% DOD = 4080Wh of storage in a package 22” deep and 12.6” high or $.48/Wh

The equivalent LiFePO4 new unit:

1x MeritSun LFP100-48 Units = $2200 (138 lbs)
@100% DOD = 4800Wh of storage in a package 16”deep and 8.7” high or $.45/Wh

So, my conclusion so far is if you are buying relatively expensive telecom 
rated AGM batteries and only going to 50% DOD with them, you may be breaking 
even with LiFEPO4 based systems.

In my last adventure we installed DC up the tower to 50 or 60 devices 
using the $40 Cambium 200SSH.  I don't know much about the device, but 
after several years of lightning seasons nothing had exploded.  That 
device was actually chosen due to a physical space restriction and not 
because it was believed to be better.


I had looked at the McCown Tech SS as well, but same space limitation 
applied as the Transtector.  (I was mounting on the inside of a cabinet 
door, and there was a limit on thickness of the housing).


Transtector is basically the name brand in this field though. You won't 
get fired for buying the Transtector.

Re: [AFMUG] DC surge supression

2020-06-15 Thread Ken Hohhof
For 48VDC I would actually prefer to see MOVs rather than (or in addition to) 
silicon avalanche diodes.  You’d never put an MOV across an Ethernet data line, 
but this is power, and MOVs can take a punch.

 

Purewave used to recommend a device I think the model number was PP1, I don’t 
know who made it, and it doesn’t appear to be sold anymore.  But it had MOVs 
and maybe some other stuff.  Also had a light you could see from the ground 
which was surprisingly useful.  I don’t think it had an internal fuse.  I’d 
probably put that at the bottom, and maybe not a second surge protector.

[AFMUG] R2AC‑Prism as WiFi AP?

In the older AirMax stuff you could turn off AirMax and just use them as 
a WiFi AP.  Can you do that with the Prism AC as well?

At any rate, no, you can't turn Airmax off on the AC stuff.

many of the ad driven free streaming sites, if you just click to the end of
the video, youll watch a single ad then go back to the beginning and the ad
breaks are marked as watched. i dont know how many ads i ever see in
youtube, i think its just the 5-15 second at the beginning

For 48VDC I would actually prefer to see MOVs rather than (or in
addition to) silicon avalanche diodes.  You’d never put an MOV
across an Ethernet data line, but this is power, and MOVs can take
a punch.

Purewave used to recommend a device I think the model number was
PP1, I don’t know who made it, and it doesn’t appear to be sold
anymore.  But it had MOVs and maybe some other stuff.  Also had a
light you could see from the ground which was surprisingly
useful.  I don’t think it had an internal fuse.  I’d probably put
that at the bottom, and maybe not a second surge protector.

Theoretically a Ubiquiti Nanostation was carrier grade and would do 
150Mbps.  It said so on the datasheet.


Just saying maybe the small, cheap satellite will work exactly as 
intended and maybe it'll have a firmware crash during a sunspot and just 
become a piece of high velocity garbage.  Even a low failure rate over 
many years could eventually leave a whole crapload of them buzzing

Each of those sats has > 60 Linux processors on board. That's
  a lot of "nodes" to deal with, and way more than a single firmware
  load. I'm sure the number is some level of built-in redundancy,
  but that level of detail is current;y lacking, and is probably
  proprietary anyway.

For 48VDC I would actually prefer to see MOVs rather than (or in addition

line, but this is power, and MOVs can take a punch.



Purewave used to recommend a device I think the model number was PP1, I 
don’t know who made it, and it doesn’t appear to be sold anymore.  But it had 
MOVs and maybe some other stuff.  Also had a light you could see from the 
ground which was surprisingly useful.  I don’t think it had an internal fuse.  
I’d probably put that at the bottom, and maybe not a second surge protector.

I just use stranded thhn wire. It is indoor.  I prefer solid but for DC the 
terminals seem to cinch down better on stranded.  Solid will work itself 
loose it seems in almost any kind of connector except wirenuts.

I use red black zip cord as well, but I noticed that carriers, telco's etc
use a much higher quality wire with more abrasion resistance, just all
around better quality.

'central office' type wire has a cotton saturated jacket.

I've seen DLO (diesel locomotive) wire used, which is even a step above I
think, 2000v insulation, etc. Search exane wire

A generic calculation for a 500km orbit gives you around 10 years.  The
design of the starlink satellite is somewhat optimized for this in that
when it is controllable it presents a knife edge to atmospheric drag but
uncontrolled it will slowly start to tumble and degrade much faster.  ~5
years at 550km without looking it up.

I have usually ordered red/black zip cord from Powerwerx, but your stuff looks 
nicer.

 

For short runs outdoors, like from a NEMA box to a Cambium PTP820 outdoor POE, 
I have used landscape cable from Home Depot.

 

The expert on wiring inside enclosures would probably be Jamie.

 

In any case, I’ve become a big believer in ferrules.

The issue of whether you can break away peacefully from the USA was 
settled in 1865 (spoiler alert, you can't).  But if history repeats 
itself then CHAZ will be ignored until they decide not to pay taxes or 
some similar obviously illegal thing.


People tolerated the Freemen in Montana until they started writing fake 
checks.


Do we remember the "Principality of Sealand"?  They were like, "We're a 
country".  UK is like, "No you're not."  Then their platform was boarded 
by mercenaries and they were like, "Send the police!" and UK is like, "I

A low orbit bird isn't going to get smacked from behind, so it would be
reasonable to assume that the vast majority if not all of the debris will
lose velocity instead of gaining it.  Also, small chunks of satellite
should have a lower ballistic coefficient than an intact satellite (mass
reduced by cube of size vs surface area reduced by square), so they should
experience greater decceleration from atmospheric drag.

2020-06-15 Thread Bill Prince

  
  
Combine with the probability that collisions are going to be with
  birds with 90-180 degree relative vectors. Sats going in the same
  relative direction should "never" collide (he says
  optimistically). That means the combined velocities are going to
  go down pretty quickly (quicker de-orbit). Not so optimistically,
  they probably won't be direct hits, but more likely glancing
  blows.
I expect something is going to happen in the next 5-10 years, and
  we will learn at least one failure mode.

I suppose the most interesting failure mode would be a vulnerability that
allows a hacker to make all the birds maneuver and crash into each other.

Even better, make them use up all their fuel boosting into a more stable
orbit where they can crank the transmitters up to eleven and shit out
maximum noise for the next hundred years.  Now that I think about it, a
constellation of 10k "starlink" birds that just by pure coincidence happen
to have DoD developed "radios" in them for high power ultra wide band
transmission would have some interesting applications.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: batcrazy

2020-06-15 Thread Ken Hohhof
For many people, that seems to mean stop funding the police to deal with issues 
like mental health, homelessness, domestic disputes, street vendors, routine 
discipline in schools, etc., and instead use that money to fund specialists, 
and let the police handle murders and robberies and stuff.

 

I had a discussion with someone who is all for defund the police and I said if 
that’s what they mean, the term really sucks, because it conveys something 
totally different and many people are not going to support something that 
sounds like disband the police and then nobody handles murders and robberies.  
Rather than saying reform the police, or narrow their focus, or move some of 
their responsibilities to other agencies.  But he said I was wrong, without 
really explaining why I was wrong.  I think he meant we can call it what we 
want to, who cares if it’s unnecessarily provocative.  Or maybe he really does 
want to disband the police.

Look up the city of Sunnyvale, California. They abolished their
  police department in 1950 and created what they call a public
  safety department. They still have patrol cars, but the officers
  do triple duty as police, firefighters, and EMT. They did this in
  1950, so it's been working very well for ~~ 70 years.
We used to live in Sunnyvale until about 1996. Great town, and
  great public safety department. Saves the city a ton of money.

the problem is the defund the police folks dont understand economics. there
isnt enough money as it is for maintaining the police presence for the
criminal side of things. taking that money and paying for a bunch of
counsellors doesnt lead to having enough cops. Removing police from schools
is a 1 percent thing, the other 99 percent will pull their kids out without
resource officers. Mental health still will need police, they dont go to a
hot environment because they dont have arrest powers if it goes downhill,
and you dont want jonna the counselor having to fight the loon.
They want to disarm the police. thats a big no, complete non starter. They
consider the bullet proof vests to be a mechanism of intimidation, anyone
who has actually had a vest do its job would never let somebody else go in
without one.
Maybe they try an actual wholistic approach, stop making everything
illegal, and you immediately have less criminals
stop overcharging for pleas, Mike flynn being an ally example I wish they
would recognize. The media says if he wasnt guilty, why would he take a
plea? I can find you thousands of young black men who can answer that
question without skipping a beat.
Get rid of plea bargains all together, make DAs actually work for their
conviction rates at trial, bet you see a less burdened court and prison
system right quick.
Prisons cost 30-70k annually per inmate. Thats a whole lot of dough to put
into those other programs, and over time that cost goes down as guards age
out and dont need to be replaced because the cells are empty.

defund the police is targeting a symptom of a virus and giving it an
antibiotic (its the wrong treatment)

When did they start having cops in schools?  Never once in my K-12 days did I 
see a policeman in my school.  I’ll have to ask my kids if they ever did.  
Maybe I led a privileged life.

 

College had “campus cops” but they were kind of a joke, mostly relegated to 
writing parking tickets.

need to bust the union, and somehow incentivise turning in dirty cops
instead of making doing the right thing out to be the worst possible thing
a cop can do. I never understood the thin blue line between good and evil
protecting the evil side out of "brotherhood". National protocols with
regional cutouts like EMS would help too.
I know a couple people who were innocent that have done prison time because
of dirty cops. One took a plea because of overcharging (white daughter
didnt want daddy to know shed been diddling the non caucasion). SA/DAs
knowing cops fabricated evidence to get the guy "off the streets" cause if
he didnt do this particular crime, he did something burns me up. Look what
happens when these guys finally get caught, thousands of cases have to be
reviewed, and sometimes guilty folks have to be released.

it started around here maybe 9 or 10 years ago. Bigger areas before that.
Resource officers tend to be problematic officers, departments who
dont have a desk job will put them in schools, thats problematic too.

Teachers cant make physical contact with students anymore, so things like
breaking up a hall fight can result in custodial battery charges, so it
requires a short response LEO. a lot of school shootings have been stopped
by resource officers.

My kid made a school shooting joke with a buddy and got overheard. it went
viral. Came into talk to the principal and it was going to be a warning. I
asked for the resource officer to be brought in to discuss it. This
particular officer was good and drove home the seriousness of jokes like
that in todays world, so there are many positives of their presence,

I grew up in Sunnyvale  It was/is? a town that really was run by the 
people.   People got pissed about waiting at stop lights in traffic way 
back in the mid 70's and they passed a city ordinance that the lights on 
all major throughfares had to be synced for throughput!   It was great!  
Drive the speed limit and just cruise.   Traffic got to dense for it to 
be non-stop in the 90's but software control improved as well as the 
planning s/w and it's still the easiest town to drive through in the 
valley IMNSHO...   Left the valley in 98...  I would get in trouble now 
for saying why...

We used to live in Sunnyvale until about 1996. Great town, and great

yes. The tower in texas, the father and son bankrobbers are two of the
incidents that led to that. last year in new jersey. Criminals have serious
firepower. Non criminals even more. Every day there are new laws going on
the books that make criminals out of more non criminals. Its no different
than us still maintaining the 1 ventilator per minute output even though we
know we dont need them. once youve seen what happens when

If anything the media says about the "boogaloo boys" is true (its not), you

Not great branding when the obvious nickname is “boogers”.

yes. The tower in texas, the father and son bankrobbers are two of the 
incidents that led to that. last year in new jersey. Criminals have serious 
firepower. Non criminals even more. Every day there are new laws going on the 
books that make criminals out of more non criminals. Its no different than us 
still maintaining the 1 ventilator per minute output even though we know we 
dont need them. once youve seen what happens when youre underprepared, you over 
prepare.

If anything the media says about the "boogaloo boys" is true (its not), you 
definetly want the law to have the armaments, because a huge percentage of 
national guard are talking about the big luau

the problem is the defund the police folks dont understand economics. there 
isnt enough money as it is for maintaining the police presence for the criminal 
side of things. taking that money and paying for a bunch of counsellors doesnt 
lead to having enough cops. Removing police from schools is a 1 percent thing, 
the other 99 percent will pull their kids out without resource officers. Mental 
health still will need police, they dont go to a hot environment because they 
dont have arrest powers if it goes downhill, and you dont want jonna the 
counselor having to fight the loon.  

They want to disarm the police. thats a big no, complete non starter. They 
consider the bullet proof vests to be a mechanism of intimidation, anyone who 
has actually had a vest do its job would never let somebody else go in without 
one.

Maybe they try an actual wholistic approach, stop making everything illegal, 
and you immediately have less criminals

stop overcharging for pleas, Mike flynn being an ally example I wish they would 
recognize. The media says if he wasnt guilty, why would he take a plea? I can 
find you thousands of young black men who can answer that question without 
skipping a beat.

Get rid of plea bargains all together, make DAs actually work for their 
conviction rates at trial, bet you see a less burdened court and prison system 
right quick.

Prisons cost 30-70k annually per inmate. Thats a whole lot of dough to put into 
those other programs, and over time that cost goes down as guards age out and 
dont need to be replaced because the cells are empty.

 

defund the police is targeting a symptom of a virus and giving it an antibiotic 
(its the wrong treatment)

I had a discussion with someone who is all for defund the police and I said if 
that’s what they mean, the term really sucks, because it conveys something 
totally different and many people are not going to support something that 
sounds like disband the police and then nobody handles murders and robberies.

Re: [AFMUG] Ok which one of you cut the fiber backbone?

not sure what the outage cause is but ddos it is not, it's been debunked as
many influential people (senators, etc ) were spreading misinformation,
which of course is on par for social media. Just so strange to me that  no
one fact checks things these days before spreading misinformation.
