Wasn’t there some guy on Youtube trying to make his own Stinger with 2 dinner 
plates or something?  And more recently wasn’t there some foreign company 
selling knockoff Stingers?

 

Strangest had to be Motorola’s LENS.  Weighed a ton.  Good doorstops, or for 
cracking walnuts.

Well, the stinger had a nice long ride.  Hundreds of thousands of them out in 
the world.  No matter where I travel, I see one somewhere.

My guys in the field have complained and complained about the new design. But 
they do like the fact that inventory parts lists can be reduced with the new SM 
style. No dishes, no stingers (sorry Chuck), no license keys. We take the good 
with the bad on this.

Does everyone hate the 450b high gain cover with the cable gland as much as we 
do?  Not sure why they felt the need to do this on the high gain but not the 
mid gain.

 

I wish somebody (Chuck?) would sell an aftermarket conversion kit to make it 
like the mid gain or the original Canopy SM.  With a snap on cover, water kept 
out by gravity, and readily accessible alignment tool port.

 

There are other mechanical things I hate about the product, like the screw in 
the back that you have to tighten ever so gingerly, and the 4 threaded inserts 
that seem to have manufacturing quality issues like getting covered over with 
plastic.  Or the occasional feedtube that doesn't quite want to latch into 
place.  Or how much work it is to convert them to mount on the left side of the 
pole.  But the stupid cover with the cable gland is an annoyance every single 
time.
