One should not underestimate how long it takes to put 24 bolts into a
radome cover.

Look at RFS. Over time while I was at SAF they turned into my favorite
antenna vendor.
When I was at SAF I sometimes worked directly with the antenna vendors
as many of the ones SAF works with are headquartered in the US.
Commscope, RFS, and Radiowaves all had different ideas about costs for
shipping vs. costs for assembling onsite. If you save $50 on shipping
and can pay a tower climber an hour to assemble it... it is worth it
potentially in the big picture.

Ok logo looks the same. Radome assembly is different now though. I
thought about taking it apart and flipping but the oopsy risk was
high. Way easier and safer to pull the sticker off and swap the
drain plugs.
We standardized on Radiowaves because they’re already assembled and
stouter. Also stiff arm options are way more flexible. Costs more but
the time savings pay off esp when doing the 4ft+ sizes with what we do.

I’ve got 3/4/6ft in front of me right now and they’re all vinyl
sticker logo. They may have changed it earlier this year about the
same time they stopped putting the 820 mounting brackets on. Now it’s
separate box with some spacers etc. First round didn’t have any
instructions and they weren’t on the website either. Fun times.

Now that I think of it, we’ve put up several 2 ft 11 GHz Radiowaves
dishes this year and I don’t think any of them had logos on the
radomes. Neither pre-applied nor in the box.
We also put up some 1 ft 18 GHz Andrew/Commscope dishes and those
also had no logo. No Andrew lightning bolt either. But those are
very small dishes.

Peel off and leave it or put your own on.
