You never had an older unit..smaller. More appealing does not always mean much..the units have 2 or 3 db less received signal the revC and the weather seal is questionable..we have installed 12 of them this week so I will reserve my option for a bit on the new radios..marty

I have to say, SWEEEEET!! The units come with a Solid heavy Duty Mounting Design. I believe it will mount on anything from 1-1/4" to 5" pipes. Comes with thick all-thread, less likely to strip. Teethed Mounting Angles are part of the Case to prevent rotation slip. Still solid metal backing for optimal Heat-disapation and F/B ratio shielding. Its foot print is also significantly smaller now. Also probably one of the most cosmetically pleasing designs I have ever seen. It just has quality written all over it. I really like the new CAT5 Feed-through Joint. Its a molder rubber plug that slips in and clips into place securely. When you pull the Plug out, it can open up to feed a pre-terminated cable through, and then closes back around it. Its molded around the Cat5 Jack, so the rubber is what holds the CAT5 in place, when you slide it in place. Whoever came up with this design is Brilliant. Installation times and Customer Approval times, are going to be Lightning QUICK, with this CPE! Its just a plain predictable time-saver. It does not offer the flexibilty of Optional add-on Mutli-Card radios or External ports in the one unit, but its not intended to. Its a fantastic all-in-one unit for needs up to 21db antenna gain, where you just take it out of the box and get rolling. This unit is my nominee for Best CPE Design of the Year, and will be a hard act to follow.
