I can't see myself using the 1k anywhere anymore.

The 2k nuts are never loose, but I still always check them. I still use a lot of 1k's because of the 48v thing too... If the 2k ran on 24v, I'd use them everywhere, but most of our older sites are 24v only, and I'm lazy, so they get the 1k.

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.

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.

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. </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
