We just replaced a couple of Elite openers. A contractor cut a corner short and ripped one gate and the opener completely out of the ground. They had to be over 25 years old, but they'd been very reliable. The opener was beyond repair, and they don't make that

On the bright side, assembly is much quicker and simpler than the Force 200. The sad thing is, all they would've had to do to make them left hand mountable, is make the L bracket about a quarter inch wider, and you could've just flipped the radio over. As far as the U-bolt vs the Force200 style

It's important to note when you attach the duplexors to the radio that you are tightening both SMA connectors at the same time. They warn about damage than can occur if you tighten them down one at a time. On 7/3/2019 10:14 AM, Keefe John wrote: They are N Connectors and they came with the

Make sure you don’t have a mixup between SMA and RPSMA connectors. I did that once, I assumed everything was RP and got an antenna with regular SMA connectors on it. Had to buy different coax cables. Signal was trying to jump the air gap between two female inner connectors. From: AF On

The TX power is correct. We'll double check the tightness but the techs said they didn't see an issue when installed. It is possible the leads are switched at one end, however you are correct Chuck that UBNT claims that doesn't matter with this radio. Is anyone sure the Dragonwave dishes

We took a Dragonwave Horizon Compact Pluses off a link and used Chuck's adapters to install AF-11FXs on the Dragonwave dishes. Now we're seeing a 20 Db signal loss on the RSL. The DSL with the original Dragonwaves was 1 or 2 db off the PCN. What could be the problem? Keefe -- AF mailing list
