Get ready to manufacture your own mounting hardware. It comes with NONE and
no instructions on 'how to anything. I realize that anyone can make a
bracket or mount, but what do you mount it to on the antenna? What is the
affect on the antenna? Will it be ok to drill through the plastic? Where is
the best place to attach to the antenna? Is the all-thread at the local
hardware going to last long up my tower? How about those nuts and washers?
SuperPass has some great patents, but he has shot himself in the foot due
to not providing the hardware with the antenna's like every other
manufacturer in the world! I have some here that have been in the field as
long as I have been an ISP - about 6 years and they are still kicking, but I
have some in the shop that have never been in the field due to no mounting
hardware and then I have some I had to take down due to the glue that holds
the actual front of the antenna cover on - came completely loose in a year.
I made one order (due to a supplier's assurance that I used at the time) of
SuperPass antennas (my first ever wireless order) and have3 never revisited
that night mare.
Do yourself a favor and stay with PacWireless or equally professional
antennas. The mounting hardware and quality of the Pacwireless has proven
itself through the 6 years we have been here doing this. I have never had to
replace a PacWireless antenna due to anything short of lightning - - and we
have hundreds of PacWireless Antennas. You can't beat their hardware
either!!!
One thing always comes to mind every time we get ready to place an order:
The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of
low price has faded from memory.
(Wow is that a true statement or what?)

Dave,
In antennas, you usually get what you pay for. SuperPass antennas are
priced very moderately but I would not expect them to last as long or
perform as consistently in your environment as an MTI antenna.

Gang,
I'm about to purchase 3 120 degree sector antennae.
SuperPass Products SEEM like a helluva deal, relatively
The same MTI specs cost about $650 a copy.
SuperPass is offering me a 3 pack for about a Grand.
Before I jump, does anyone know of a down-side
to the SuperPass choice?
Thanks loads!
