All of our Exalt stuff is over the last year. My personal feeling is that there are a LOT of quality control issues happening over the last year with the employee buyout/organization change.
There was no way this one was going to fit. It just flat wasn't milled out big enough. We could have maybe made it fit with a bigger hammer, but I didn't really want to do that. When we got the replacement radio, it fit right on the antenna, so it was clearly a problem with the radio. I think it's all been RadioWaves antennas.
