Couple things. Have you tried getting them directly from Pac Wireless? I think the prices you just quoted are higher than I pay when I buy 10 or more antennas. The other thing I want to point out especially to you Kev, seeing your here in the wet Oregon like me is. The eqinox dipoles that come from EC seem to have a problem gathering water. I used to buy all my antennas from EC and when they swapped over from pac wireless to equinox, I bought about 20 of them. I use H polarity quite a bit and have had to replace the dipole out. The way the dipole is designed allows it to collect water and not drain. If you were to crack one open you would see little plastic dam like seperators. The other thing is you can get n male on the end of the antenna pigtail from Pac Wireless directly allowing you to plug right into the outdoor sb unit. Doesn't cost anything extra. George
