I noticed that on almost all of the 1k's we've bought. I always make
sure the SMA nuts are tight. I even check the 2k's since I'm paranoid.
The only place I really use the 1k anymore is existing smaller 24V
sites, because the 2k is 48VDC only.

The problem with the 1000 is that a lot of them used to come without
the nut thingies around the antenna connectors tightened all the way
and water would leak in there... at least that's the best theory I
could come up with as to why they leaked... anyway, I haven't had any
fill with water since I started tightening them more and slapping some
clear Gorilla tape over the lights seems to fix that problem pretty well.
I haven't seen any problems with the 2000 so far. They're a much
better design, in my opinion... at least they don't have any crummy
little stickers that fall off and leak.

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

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Small 5ghz antennas
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.
