Sure, no problem, although I don't think they're relevant since the observations deal mostly with point to point connections and high gain antennas. 11.5.2 states that (for the 5Ghz bands): - For outdoor devices and point to multi point devices, if the antenna gain exceeds 6 dbi, the transmission power must be reduced by the same amount of decibels. - For point to point connections only, it allows the usage of antennas with gains up to 23 dbi without reducing the transmission gain on the 5.15-5.25 GHz band. - For point to point connections only, it allows the usage of antennas with gains up to 6 dbi without reducing the transmission gain on the 5.25-5.35 GHz and the 5.4-5.725 GHz band. - For point to point connections only, it allows the usage of antennas with no gain limit and no transmission power reduction on the 5.75-5.85 Ghz band 11.5.4 states that (for the 57Ghz to 64 Ghz band): - For outdoor equipment, the transmission power must not exceed 85 dbm minus 2 dBm for each dB of the antenna's gain that the antenna's gain is less than 51 dBi. Furthermore, the antenna must be the same type of antenna that was certified with the equipment. No other antenna type shall be used. 2018-05-15 13:27 GMT-05:00 Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 11:50:15AM -0500, Michael Chen wrote: >> Neither TPC nor DFS are currently required in Panama.
