Yup, same here. Had to peak out a Force110 link and couldn't break the
elevation nut loose, so we had to leave it a few dB off instead of
breaking it off completely and/or bending the mounting plate.

I would very much like to see Cambium switch to a different kind of nuts.

Have you actually experienced the SS nuts seizing? Maybe I’ve
been lucky, but I have not had trouble with that even after
years. I guess I should be putting anti-seize compound on them,
but it’s so messy.
Metric silicon bronze nuts look to be expensive, like in the $1
each range, to swap them out yourself. Which of the many nuts
would you want to be silicon bronze? Just the 4 that hold it to
the pipe? Or also all the ones involved in the elevation adjustment?

I've pulled two up the tower by hand at once and the tower guys
didn't complain, so they can't be that heavy.
What I really wish Cambium would do, or talk Laird into doing, is
replacing the nuts with silicon-bronze like LMG uses on their
stuff. Or just go to galvanized. The stainless on stainless sucks.
They're $500 antennas and I shouldn't have to go buy extra shit
for them.

Wish they made the sector mounting hardware out of aluminum.
You get
4 of them together and they weigh a ton.
