[AFMUG] af-5g23-s45
Has anyone actually received and tested one of these? What's the issue with availability, how can the radios be shipping but not the antennas, doesn't seem to be rocket science. I know there has been discussion about using a 3rd party dish or panel, just wondering if there's anything official on availability of the official Ubiquiti dish which would be the most compact solution. I saw one retailer quoting January availability on their website, that has to be a mistake, right?
Re: [AFMUG] af-5g23-s45
Hi Ken - Yes, this means shipping from factory overseas by end of month, which means arriving end of June timeframe. Start shipping does mean smaller qty, but is expected to be good volume out of gate (though will not cover all orders on first shipment). I expect 2nd shipment to cover.

Re: [AFMUG] af-5g23-s45
Hi Paul - Yes, they have already been shipped to distributors (they are either still in transit or close to arriving). The reason AF-5X arrived so much before the dishes is due to the fact the AF-5X are small and can be air shipped. Some of the OMT conversion kits were also air shipped (again due to size).

Re: [AFMUG] af-5g23-s45
Thanks for the update. Perhaps I was misinformed about quantity. Apparently I was too far behind in the queue to get fulfilled on this last order. Hopefully mine will come next week.
