Too bad they did not reuse the glands they used on other products that were
large enough.

Matt, I think I just discovered another problem – do the glands really require
that you crimp the RJ45 plug on the cable AFTER passing it through the gland?
Ideally a shielded plug.
That’s more than inconvenient, I’m going to have to order something else.

Yes, with universities having “cry closets” for our snowflake generation to use
during finals, what would one expect.
BTW, AFMUG is not a “safe space”, we do our best to “trigger” snowflakes and it
could be best said that we are a “brave space”.

I'm sure they stopped doing that because all the sensitive engineers who are
just out of college now can't handle being told that their ideas are bad.
I think the last time they had an event which was similar was when the original
god-awful EPMP 1000 dishes had just come out. The meeting was in January, we
had one with and tried to get the engineers to come out and assemble it on the
tailgate in the parking lot with us. They refused.

Way back in the day, Motorola would send some of us prototypes to test and

They used to also have groups of users voice opinions about the roadmap.

I had the same head scratching moment with the uGPS before it was called the
cnPulse. The design is awkward to say the least. It didn't have any idiot
lights which was difficult for the tower crew to troubleshoot. We quickly
removed it and went to a RackIjector. Best decision ever.

We’ve always used PacketFlux sync products with Cambium radios, I have a
somewhat unusual install involving a 450i and an omni and wanted AUX port sync
and decided to try a CnPulse instead of ordering a Syncbox Jr. AUX port version.
Am I wrong, or did the Cambium team responsible for this product royally
mess up?
1) Big multilanguage instruction sheet, nowhere shows how to assemble or
install the product.
2) Instruction sheet has generic photo of Cambium radios installed at a
tower but does not show a CnPulse.
3) Bracket is stupid and for some reason they decided the cable glands
should come out horizontally not at the bottom.
4) Screws for attaching bracket (or flipping it around to mount on the
opposite side of the pipe) require a T15 bit, because every tower climber
carriers Torx bits.
5) Label for which port is which is on the back where the bracket
attaches. Yes there are also labels molded into the plastic housing, but the
grey on grey is almost invisible.
The bracket is so stupid it’s tempting to just electrical tape the unit to
the pipe. Except if we pointed the cable glands down, would it still see the
satellites?
