Engineers have a hard time using something off the shelf. They must collect points for each unique thing they do.

From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2019 2:12 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] [ External ] Re: CnPulse sad 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.

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 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.

They used to also have groups of users voice opinions about the roadmap. From: Eric Muehleisen Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2019 1:28 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] CnPulse sad 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.

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? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com </blockquote> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
