i cant wait til 3d printers do galavanized steel. mccown tech can eliminate the hateful vendors, just purchase a 3 unit license from the website and install your mtow On Fri, Sep 30, 2016 at 1:25 PM, Adam Moffett <[email protected]> wrote: Sounds like 3D printing is the direction people are going for one-offs. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Cameron Crum" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: 9/30/2016 2:02:06 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] I want a "Stinger like" antenna for Wimax CPE When I was building slotted waveguide antennas for our network, we needed a way to seal up the slots so the rain wouldn't fill the antennas faster than a weep hole could drain it. I found that 3M made some heat shrink tubing that just fit over the size of tubing I was using. After heat shrinking the stick, we would dip the ends in "plastidip". Never had a leak. I wonder if you just needed to hand make a couple dipole or patch array antennas, if dipping them in plastidip wouldn't be a decent option. Obviously it would be labor and time intensive for production, but for a couple one-offs, why not?

They have an array of metal circles on a board connected to each other by traces. What about a cheaper external antenna? The price to beat is $120. ------ Original Message ------ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: 9/30/2016 12:37:35 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] I want a "Stinger like" antenna for Wimax CPE Yeah, that will be an array of patches inside.

From: Adam Moffett Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 10:29 AM To: Animal Farm Subject: [AFMUG] I want a "Stinger like" antenna for Wimax CPE I want to narrow the radiation pattern on Wimax CPE in order to reduce interference. Higher gain is a bonus, but mostly I want to tune out interference from other base stations and thereby improve CINR. Right now all I've got is I can put an external antenna on with coax jumpers. A dish with a significantly narrower pattern than the integrated panel is $120-$140 from KP Performance, plus the cost of the coax jumpers and the labor to seal them. I'm really missing the Canopy stingers and reflectors right now. If I could slip something on for $50 I'd be all over it like white on rice. I'd also just settle for a cheaper external antenna. Any brilliant ideas? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
