The PCB edge launch connectors to mate with that are very expensive... From: Josh Luthman Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 3:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Product Idea for Chuck - Feedback?
RPSMA? Ya Trango started it, Ubnt did it, Mikrotik kinda followed suit, ePMP does it...

Right but not at all of us are replacing an FSK radio with a $200-400 radio...we're using a $99.

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.

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.

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.

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. From: Gino Villarini Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 11:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] Product Idea for Chuck - Feedback? 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.
