Via Are you referring to the RF Armor radome? RF Elements only has the radio shield, not the dish radome.

One is the "Rock Shield" which shields the original Rocket case. Second there is the shield that bolts onto some of the parabolic dishes that provides slightly better sidelobe performance on the dishes themselves. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/2/2015 9:38 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: I think he means exactly what he said being that he later addressed RF Armor directly. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Monday, March 2, 2015 11:36:54 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Rocket series shields RF armor shield you mean?

If you need more than 100M ethernet, get a real backhaul.
