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 Ubiquiti's Rocket platform. Snapping in the radio unit without cables makes a lot of sense. I'm sure I'm not the only one but here I've made a few "all in one" enclosures with built-in backhaul and omni antennas without external cables for repeater sites. No more water in the cables! -RickG
