Reverse SMA connector for D-Link antenna???

What kind of pigtail do I need to connect this antenna to my Senao 200mw
card?

Second question: would it be unsafe to sit next to the antenna? I'm
thinking maybe I should get a Senao bridge or something that would let
me connect remotely..

Any wireless network using a omni antenna is classified as P2MP by the FCC.
In a point to multipoint a 200mw (23db) radio with a 15dbi antenna will put
you at 38 EIRP which is 2db over the FCC limit.
Shouldnt matter unless someones turns you in for interfering with their
network and the FCC pays a visit.
FYI - Antennas and everything in between the radio and the antenna are
supposed to be certified as a system. If you use a
Dlink antenna on a senao and its hasnt been certified as part of that system
then it also upsets the FCC.
Not sure if it matters to you. But thought you should know. Sorry I don't
have the pigtail info.
BTW- I wouldnt want to be setting to close to this antenna.

In this way, if you ever did get a visit from the FCC, at least you'd
be operating at legal power.

I was wondering about that.. how exactly did you calculate the EIRP?

I'll probably do something to get it under the limit, considering I'll
have a few feet of wire between the antenna and card that'll probably
drop it low enough.

Eirp= power at the antenna. Max=36db, 30db for the radio and 6dbi for
the antenna.
200mw=23db+15dbi for the antenna =38db. Or any combination thereof
that is not more than
36db for example a 15db radio and a 21dbi antenna = 36. An attenuator
would work or and equivalant amount of cable. I know the FCC is a
little slack in catching things but I darn sure wouldnt be caught
doing a commercial job for someone else and having the system be out
of specs. Can you say
trouble.... or lawsuit....
Plus if the FCC does show up they will want to see the documentation
that shows that
everything in your system has been certified as a system by the FCC.

pigtail that comes with it is a N-male to RP-SMA plug
imagine you want N-Male to whatever that senao card requires (MMCX i.think)
