The early ones were thermoformed and thermally welded.  I build a mold and went 
to injection molded with solvent glue.  Yeah, the early ones sometimes the 
girls welding on the lids would cover up the weep hole.

Subject: [AFMUG] SuperStinger full of water/ice

I keep forgetting that I still have some old 2.4 FSK in my network, but I 
thought all the SuperStingers were gone.  I sent a tech out to a repair after 
out early winter storm, and luckily he remembered about the first gen 
SuperStingers filling up with water and then freezing.  You know something is 
wrong when the SuperStinger weighs about 5 times what it should.  Or if above 
freezing, when it makes a sloshing sound when you shake it.

 

Hey Chuck, are these still under warranty?

 

Just kidding.  All my 2.4 HPOL is long gone, so other than aesthetics, there’s 
no reason not to just use a dish.  Or in this case, we found a new (non super) 
Stinger on the shelf and the expedient thing was to pop one of those on the SM.

 

I seem to remember you changed the seam in the plastic from the edge to the 
back to solve the water intrusion?  It seemed like temperature changes caused 
the moisture to actually get sucked into the crack in the top and get trapped 
inside.  I guess we could have drilled a drain hole in the bottom, but if we’re 
doing a proactive truck roll, might as well just switch to something else.  
Most places we have replaced 2.4 GHz with 3.65 GHz but typically as overlay 
sectors so there is still some legacy 2.4.  Damn, I remember when Canopy FSK 
was the hot new stuff we used to replace smartBridges.  Now it’s the “old 
busted hotness” as J would say in Men In Black.
