Well now that you've made the shit-list are you going to whip up some adapter rings ? :P

I guess you are referring to ARC's 34 dB dish?

Actually we had already made the dies and such needed to produce a kit for the ARC 34 dB dish, I just had put them up on a shelf where they have been collecting dust for several years.

You really do not want an adapter ring and putting the larger dish kit on the smaller antenna with a flange wing would cut down the hostile noise but would create unwanted weird multi-path problems.

I am seriously considering it with the recent change of events.

Since this whole thing blew up I have been re-contacted by several other entities asking me to re-consider making shield kits for them as in the past I was unwilling to do so with my loyalty to my friends at Ubiquiti.

I will say that I am considering to re-evaluate that position with the way things are looking? :cry:

What makes you think weird multipath problems are unwanted :lol: Ok so adapter is the wrong approach then, I get it now,

The fact that you are 'considering' it now leads me to respect you more than ever. Me, I run into someone on bridge that's pouring gas on it, I always offer them a light, bad habit I suppose.

Chris, they fired a shot across your bow, it's not disloyal to not rely on a single vendor to match your product too, it's good business.

I would like to see the ARC kit also.
Maybe the new Mikrotik mAnt dishes also.

I was very disappointed when I looked at the design and specs of the mikrotik dish compared to others out there.

That said, the new stuff rf elements is putting out is very well design/made. The antennas, twist lock connectors (very low loss replacement for SMA jumpers), mounting options, horns and sectors... I was pretty impressed with all of them at wispapalooza.
