In the very beginning you had to buy the GPS unit if you wanted
connectors. Now you can get connectors without GPS.

Same price.
I'd rather go for one part to primarily stock. I've got 2 or 3
integrated in the shop to maybe 50? connectorized.
On top of that, I'd hope that Gino's sketch provides a more efficient
illumination.

But you can put an integrated radio on our dishes. Isn’t the
integrated radio cheaper?

Is it a new customer? Force 110 with a connectorized radio
Is it a new customer that wants a reflector? Use the
connectorized radio
Is it a customer with Canopy+Dish? Use the connectorized radio
Integrated radio would be for customers that are really close and
could hear multiple sectors.

But why would you want to use the connectorized radio vs the epmp?

Enabling you to use the reflectors already there and simply
swap radios would be fantastic. I'm sure there are many going
from FSK to epmp.

Oh, OK. I actually developed a small patch antenna for the
connectorized radio back when these first came out. I
think it was for you. Last winter or spring.
The holdup was waiting for a tiny radome. I think I
designed the thermoform mold but never got any samples or
something like that. Could still finish that project I
guess.

just to clarify, we DO NOT want a epmp integrated holder!
check the sketch

We can do this. Whose dish and what frequency?
We have a holder now for ePMP for our current dishes.
It fits some of the others I think.
Our older dishes had a D tube with a piece of bent
conduit welded into it. The SM snapped into place.
Hard to do some thing for them.
Later we had the rectangular tubing with the claw snap
fit. Our current ePMP holder should work with those.

Chuck
As we migrate Canopy to epmp, we find ourselves
wishing for this:
-Epmp holder for conn. epmp radio with illumination
feedhorn for traditional dishes
The idea would be that instead of replacing the whole
canopy radio+dish with a Force110 unit, it would be
more efficient to just remove the Canopy radio and
reuse the dish with a conn. radio
I think that we could pay $25-$30 for something like
this.
