Egads, in that case, I see your point! In my case, I use generic enclosures with plenty of room for working hands. I do admit, depending on the amount of work that needs to be done, I have been known to swap out enclosures but not normally. With that said, I've been dreaming of a system like Ubiqui

Yep, we use 411ah and each antenna has it's own box. If we have a problem, we swap out the box and work on it in the warm cozy shop. In mosts cases it is faster and easier to change out the box. Jim Josh Luthman wrote: > All of the jank (for lack of a better word) repeaters were 532 and Enge

All of the jank (for lack of a better word) repeaters were 532 and Engenius cards. Even if they were the better wlm54ag cards they'd have u.fl. I agree, though. Towers need better cards which often have a "better" connector - mmcx. Still, I prefer swapping boxes as N is easy to work with - when

As much as I HATE those connectors, I have gotten pretty good at replacing a card that has them. Even up on a tower. I have found that I can not see (yeah I really need bifocals) the connector well enough but I can put a slight amount of pressure on the connector and move it around a little and

What enclosures do you use? Some of the early deployments used the tiny Pac DCE boxes with 532 boards. Everything is small. It is impossible to put the u.fl on the back with it mounted which means taking the board out. Once you take the board out you can put the u.fl on, then gently put it back
