I told them to make a snap-on radome with the sub-reflector integrated
into it. That would provide less wind load and keep ice off of the
feedhorn, plus speed up assembly.
I'm not sure what the polarization is. I thought the Force100 was -/+45,
so the 110 is probably the same, but there's no way to tell.

I just put together my first Force 110... definitely a huge
improvement over the 100, it's still not quite as simple as throwing
together a Nano/PowerBeam, but not bad at all, I think it's actually
easier to put together than a NanoBridge... and the fact that I didn't
look at the instructions until I was done is a good sign. I'm not sure
how much I like the crazy wire thing on the front, but I can live with
that, and otherwise, it seems like a pretty good design.
The fact that they used carriage bolts for the pole mount instead of a
u-bolt makes me very happy... I suspect we're going to be putting a
lot of these things up on towers for PtP links.
One question... are these dual slant or Horizontal/Vertical polarity?
I know it doesn't really matter much for ePMP, but since they are
connectorized, it's likely they'll get used with other radios at some
point.
