Can anyone suss out from the text, if REV4 would work with what kind of PoE?
I have what must be a REV3 dish, powered by a custom power source due to incompatibility of the "PoE" used by REV3. I'm doing that to avoid using the starlink router/AP piece. This is a standard, well-blogged about solution.
I thought PoE was good for up to (or exactly?) 56V, so I guess the incompatibility in REV3 is more about the wattage delivered, not the voltage.
I would be eager to get a REV4 just for the jitter improvement, which is a big issue for me. If it also can use standard PoE, that's another huge win. Or at least, if it can use the same kind of power supply I'm using for REV3, that's fine as well.
