The dish is most definitely an ARC dish. ARC is the only company that puts that pipe on the left side to mount the Rocket to. That sucks that the factory screwed up. I am sure it was an isolated thing though. You bought two of them, right? Was both of them FUBAR'd? -------Original Message------- From: Josh Luthman Date: 1/7/2013 10:15:29 PM To: Tom Sharples Cc: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Heads up - 2' Arc 5.8 dish antennas Dish looks identical to Ubnt. The feedhorn has N connectors, which is not Ubnt style - they use SMA.

These were sold to us as ARCs, but this is the first time I've looked at one, we've always used Lairds before now. Tom S. On 1/7/2013 9:06 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: That looks like a Ubnt dish...

Company is not headed in a good direction from what I understand......... That being said I have used a lot of 24" ARC dishes and have not had any problems what so ever. I like them a lot better than the UBNT ones..... -------Original Message------- From: Tom Sharples Date: 1/7/2013 10:48:58 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Heads up - 2' Arc 5.8 dish antennas Bought a pair of the ARC dual-pol 5.8Ghz 2' dish antennas for use on a ptp project the other day. When we got them on-site, it turned out that one of the two was defectively manufactured so that the feed-horn could only be mounted at a 45-degree angle. We had to drill and file in a new key location to fix this problem. In the past, we've never had a problem with ARC but this is the first time I've bought their dishes. These come in a kit that's a real PITA to unpack and then repack, but I guess we'll have to do that from now on if we use these antennas again. I've emailed them photos and used their on-line support - have not heard back.
