These are *not* really made for doing on a tower. The screws and threads
are too small.

I haven't tried any of the conversion kits, but the thing that
concerns me is that I've tried pulling the back piece off a couple
Rocket dishes that had been pulled from towers, and the screws were
all too crusty to get out - even on the ground, so I can't imagine
that being too easy working on a tower.
That said, I did try taking apart a new/unused feedhorn, and it didn't
seem to be an issue, so it might be fine on the newer ones with the
plastic cover over the back...

The biggest PITA about modifying our existing dishes was taking
off and putting back on the raydomes. It appears that is not an
issue with these, as it is actually the back that you replace. Cool!
Oooohhhh, look what just arrived! Now if only the next batch of
AF5X would arrive....

My adapter kits just shipped yesterday from Streakwave, so I
am not sure yet. These ones that I sent a picture of are
modified feedhorns.

What about if you use their adapter kit (the one that also
converts to dual slant)?
I’m guessing my RF Armor radio shields are scrap though?

Actually, they will slide right onto the Rocket dish if
you only use the top two pins.
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.

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?

Yes, you have to use different channels for RX and
TX... which can also be a significant advantage in
some cases.

In Ubiquiti's version of FDD, is it different
channel range for the Rx? The risk there is anyone
else sees that channel as clear.

I've been seeing 1-2ms on out AF5x link, not
quite as good as an AF5 in FDD, but better
than any other synced radio I've seen.

I have one AF5 up running FDD in the DFS
band at 3.4 miles. 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.

What's is latency like on the AF5X?
Similar to a PTP600, a few
milliseconds and very constant?

No FDD. Not 48 volt. Not 40+ watts.

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.
