It was an empty threat. Nothing ever came from it.

Except SAF... right Chuck ;-)
Years ago I was party to the contracts SAF signed with RFS and Commscope for
antennas, and they both included boilerplate language about the interface
design and that it could only be sold to the manufacturer, etc. But that was
from the antenna vendor side. If the radio manufacturer intends to enforce
anything about the design... well that is a different story.
As I wrote before - unless it is a 4ft antenna or larger or has some unique
restrictions that cause replacement to be a real problem... I'd just buy the
new antenna. Generally, since radios you are upgrading to will have high
modulation specs you probably will want to upgrade antennas anyways to get
higher availability for the higher performance.
But all of that is "in general." I'm the first one to realize there are
situations where keeping what is there is far better.

Never had a problem, I have interfaced with lots of antennas and radios over
the year.

I was in a rush to send that photo and apparently didn’t succeed in attaching
it to the email.
Also, you might get a call from Cambium’s (or Ceragon’s) lawyers. I know
they don’t let Andrew and Radiowaves sell the antennas with the Ceragon mount
direct to end customers. So they are apparently protective of their mount. I
think someone once posted – it might have been you Daniel – that most or all of
the licensed radio manufacturers are that way.

It almost never makes sense to retrofit a 2ft antenna IMHO. 3ft possibly.
I also imagine as soon as Cambium hears coax and "old AF11" antenna in any
troubleshooting conversation they are going to clam up and blame that.
I'd just replace the antennas.

Thanks.
I have had a request to make a connectorizing kit to allow these radios to be
used with AF11X antennas.
Not sure it is economically feasible. Especially if I have to add a way to
hang the radio as well.
