We bought two - only one was screwed up.

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?

Dish looks identical to Ubnt. The feedhorn has N connectors, which is
not Ubnt style - they use SMA.

Hmm - wonder if they are made by the same subcontractor? 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.

Hope it's not a sign of deteriorating quality control. I've always
liked their panels and we have used lots of them.
Thanks,

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.....

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.
