If you use the adapter, it should be fine. Shouldn't need the RF Armor radio box, but I haven't compared them.

They won't directly bolt on to the old dishes due to the GPS connector being in the way, but you can use them on any antenna you want. There's nothing proprietary about them. Just need pigtails and a method of mounting. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com From: "Sam Lambie" < samtaos...@gmail.com > To: af@afmug.com Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2015 9:38:01 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] AF5 vs AF5X Can the 5x be installed on older Ubnt rocket 30 dbi dishes? or would I need to install new dishes to accommodate the new radios?

We didn't want to try to push an AF24 that far. RTT average is around 0.8ms, so yes, like a licensed radio. No idea about the AF5X, haven't bought any. But I'd guess latency would be similar to the AF5 or 24 in half-duplex mode, which is going to be like 4-5ms. I have only done FDD though.. because it's moar better.

Where you would use each, and what you give up with the X in return for smaller, cheaper, lower power, and drop-in replacement for a Rocket? I know it doesn't have the built-in high isolation TX and RX antennas, and doesn't do a gig of throughput. But I'm sure there's more to it. It's not jumping out at me on the UBNT website. </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> -- -- Sam Lambie Taosnet Wireless Tech. 575-758-7598 Office www.Taosnet.com
