I believe that we're within PoE range. Certainly within range of pulling an additional 18 gauge pair along with cat 5 if required. If my memory isn't letting me down, I want to say we needed 180' of heliax to get from the radio room to the antenna (mounted at the SE corner of the cooling towers.) There are other locations that would need more, but the usual range for PoE that I hear bandied about is 300' -- andyw at pobox.com Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634
