I think you're remembering what Chuck said about Stingers for the slant
SMs. IIRC, 4dB for the 2.4 450 wasn't enough for him to waste any more
of his time. Maybe 5dB for the 3GHz, plus the odd new SM case makes it
doubly not worth it.
6dB is OK, but I'd rather see more, and at that point you're getting
into the size of a panel anyway.
I'm still trying to figure out why the 2.4 450 SMs have two holes in the
top of the mount part. Neither the 3GHz or 5GHz SMs have that. Some yet
unannounced CLIP? Seems way late. Maybe speed holes?

I'm trying to find the response from somebody at Cambium when I asked
about the feasibility of a CLIP for 3.65 GHz. I think it was
something about too big and not enough gain. Obviously with the new
case design you couldn't just slip a 5 GHz Stinger or CLIP on a 3.65
GHz SM to see what happens. But I suspect something 50% bigger than
the existing CLIP and with 6 dB gain over a bare SM might make some
people happy. Certainly it would be cheaper than an SMC plus a panel,
and smaller than a reflector dish.
Here's a scary thought, remember the LENS that weighed a ton? Make
that 50% bigger and put it on the 3.65 SM which also weighs a ton, now
you have 2 tons.

I have a few places I need more gain then a bare 450 3.65 SM but
cannot fit a reflector. Is there a small panel antenna that works
with the 450 3.65 SM?
