I had one of those omnis (either KP or L-Com, doesn’t matter) with the top blown off, I think it took a lightning hit. Anyway, I looked inside and was deeply disappointed. Maybe I don’t understand antenna design, but I expected something fancier and more substantial. Like 4 patch arrays with splitters all held precisely in place. It seemed like just a formed piece of tin slid inside a tube.
Oh, and once the top was gone, some bees moved in.

The dual polarity 5ghz omnis they sell are certainly the same thing as Chuck's (there are probably at least half a dozen different companies selling those in the US... including L-Com, interestingly).

L-Com does similar, just import from China. So just adding Lanbowan to L-Com is not much of a change it doesn’t seem to me. I don’t think either company actually built anything themselves.
