Man I wish I had saved a few antennas from the years I was making them.
I can still build the waveguide adapters. That is easy for me.
I wonder what the chance of getting caught running unlicensed is...
Anyone have any used gear they want to sell me?

How much more is it, though, for better radios if you need the better dishes,
yet have to buy the Ubiquiti dishes anyway?
AF11 kit with dishes (that you'll just throw away)
N to waveguide adapters
Good dish
vs.
Better radio
Good dish

I used Comsearch for the last few we did... the price wasn't much different at
the time, but I have no idea if that's still the case.
Ken is right about the performance... you basically get he same throughput out
of dual pol that higher end radios get on single pol. It only really matters if
the area is congested, but if it is, you may need to spend more and get better
radios.

I don’t have any AF11X and may be remembering wrong, but I think you
basically have to coordinate dual pol, for single pol performance. So if
you’re in a congested area, it might be marginally more difficult to coordinate
because you won’t have the option of using single pol if only V or H is
available. V is usually preferred because of less rain fade, so sometimes H is
still available. Bottom line, might want to do frequency coordination before
buying hardware.

The kit is available with high band duplexers.
But yeah, last I checked, the AF11 is still only in stock anywhere in kit
form, so it makes sense to just go with the Ubiquiti dishes (which should be
fine for 7 miles anyway), So you'd be at about $3200 for the hardware (2 kits
plus two more duplexers to do mimo). If I remember correctly, coordination and
licensing was somewhere around $1600 on the last link we did, so you'll
probably end up right around $5K total.
I haven't ever had any problem finding an open frequency, but that
completely depends on the area.

Additionally if you get a high band allotment you’ll need new duplexes

Yes. The AF11x "kit" (two radios, two duplexers, two antennas) is
$1500, need two more duplexers if doing MIMO - another $500 ish. Then $2K (at
the most) for the coordination/licensing fees. If you want better antennas than
the UBNT ones in the kit, they'll be over and above. Radiowaves and KP make
good ones (they're the same antenna, actually).

About $4K, 700 Mbps. Open freqs completely depends on your location.
Might have to upgrade antennas.

What is the cost, all in, license, antennas, everything for a
system that will do 7 miles?
What throughput will that have?
How likely is it to find an open frequency?
