I'm very curious to hear how reliable the connection stays in some of these tough shots (be it interference or nlos). I'm just tired of dealing with nlos shots that install beautiful and a couple months later they're dropping left and right and reg and re-reg counters start flying through the roof. If they can just down modulate and stay going, that'd make me happy.
