Went through this with SR9's from Ubiquiti. Even though it was known there was issues with a series or run of SR9 cards, some distributors, rather than send all the cards back and getting new ones, left the old cards in stock and sold them knowing there was a percentage of cards that would be

Not cheap but Streakwave has the Pac Wireless ones. We use both the standard and long ones. They are, by far, the strongest and easiest to deal with out of all of the one's I've tried. Only two bolts rather than three. You can flip them to go out or keep the radio closer to the base. Very

Given the experience out here it might be worth creating a database of bunk modular radios with date codes and/or batch numbers. In addition to our standard test regimen, we mark every radio with a little sticker that identifies who we bought it from. This helps narrow down the problem

Hey Gang, I just hook up with the local Dish Network or Direct TV installers. They usually have a stack of old ones in the back. If they don't?(Like 2$ each?), I have been buying new ones for less than $4 each. They can order them in boxes of 20 or 25 I think. No shipping, no hassles and it

Chuck, They get a mount with every new dish or directtv system they put in, from my understanding. They often don't use the mounts so they stack up in the installer's garage until he throws them away or sells them. They often sell them at $2-$4 for extra income. Rick Harnish -Original

I have only seen this on mine when my power over enet was bad. I query for uptime via snmp and graph the resulting tick count. You should see a VERY boring rise on your graphs... If you see a sawtooth, things are bad and rebooting too much. Also, my 333 had a bios update with the recent 3.4
