I just don't like getting a heat gun next to that plastic. I was careful with the 450 APs, but sometimes they'd get a little too warm for my liking. I started using some 4:1 shrink, but that often shrunk too quickly, stuck to the cable or connector and sometimes didn't seal up around the bulkhead nut very well. Of all the 450 APs I had leak though, they were mostly because of either the cover gasket or the gore patch deteriorating.

Where it does make sense is the 450i APs. We do keep a couple connectorized radios around for spares and whatnot, but now that the integrated 90 is available in both 3GHz and 5GHz, I'd much rather use those. No prep at all. Pull it out of the box, plug it in, config and hang.

I dont know man, not the most robust radio, i like it under the umbrella, with the 1000 light covers popping off and filling them with water i have little trust in the 2k

    cold shrink tubing I suppose.  Not sure if they make it that small.

    you can use rfelements connectorized with the 2000 series or
    quickport with the 1000 series, thats probably your smallest
    footprint solution.

    if you find a clean way to weatherize the top of the 2000 AP
    with the connectorized that doesnt involve mastic please update

        I'm looking to install an EPMP AP where the subs (force
        180's) are only going to be about 100 yards away, and within
        a few degrees of each other.  There is an existing mount
        already installed on the AP side, but it cannot handle
        something the size of a normal sector. There is a bare FSK
        AP installed today, so that's the form factor I'm
        replacing.  Replacing the mount would be very difficult. 
        Any recommendations for small antennas for the EPMP line? 
        There are other EPMP Ap's at the site, so I would like to
        keep sync on the AP side, otherwise I would just throw on a
        Force180 as an AP and be done.
