My versions match the radio, not the antenna. In other words, I don’t care what the antenna is, if it was designed to work with a Remec, or DW or Exalt or whatever my adapter will fit.

I believe that CommScope and RW were not allowed to sell the mount directly, and you had to go through DW to get it. The specs on this antenna list it as single polarized, and you’ll have to look at the feedhorn to see what you have here. If it’s not circular, you will have to get a dual-polarized feedhorn. I’m not up to speed on Chuck’s adaptor, but you may have to remove the DW flange or mount to get this to work properly with it. Hopefully an OMT is included somewhere in here? https://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=a-ant-11g-36-c Sent from my iPad On Jul 3, 2019, at 10:04 PM, Keefe John <[email protected]> wrote: The antenna model is A-ANT-11G-36-C-A Keefe On Wed, Jul 3, 2019, 8:52 PM Keefe John <[email protected]> wrote: These are the radiowaves ones.

These would require an OMT or dual-polarized feeds to get both polarizations. On Jul 3, 2019, at 10:27 AM, Keefe John <[email protected]> wrote: The TX power is correct. We'll double check the tightness but the techs said they didn't see an issue when installed. It is possible the leads are switched at one end, however you are correct Chuck that UBNT claims that doesn't matter with this radio. Is anyone sure the Dragonwave dishes actually work with two polarities at once? I believe the literature says single pol. I know they are dual pol in that you can connect a Dragonwave either horizontally or vertically on the back of the dish but can you use two polarities at once?

Now we're seeing a 20 Db signal loss on the RSL. The DSL with the original Dragonwaves was 1 or 2 db off the PCN.
