I haven't had issues with reboots on the rockets but the bonus with them is they have a reset button on the PoE down on the ground for when I try something stupid from the ground and I screw it up....... I was very glad to see that.
But yeah, you should feel okay about the Rockets and the sectors. They are working fine and I'm sure once I learn how to tweak them a bit more they will be perfect. Hey, how else can you get a dual polarity 120 degree 19dbi sector with a MIMO radio attached for $238 bucks? Just hang it and run your cat5. Darn quick and the mounts are as robust as you would want. We'll see how the rest of the unit shapes up after being up for a year. The Rocket dish is also a good item. I have some on order, haven't played with it yet but I looked one over, very good quality.

Thanks Bob, Rick and Tom for your thoughts. My hands itch when I'm uncertain about something. It might just be the dry air. Are the Ubiquity radios more apt to require reboots than some of the other mainstream CPE? Seems to be a common thread here. I am most interested in the rocket stuff, aren't I? Tom what sort of radio and board are in the MeshCam2? mg At 02:24 PM 12/19/2009, you wrote: >My biggest concern with these units is (a) lack of mechanical robustness - >little plastic bits leak or break off quite easily and (b) lack of a >hardware watchdog timer which personally I think is essential esp. when >you're using "development stage" firmware.
