A radome would be nice, I hope they do come out with one.

The Force100 was definitely slant, so yeah, I'm guessing these are too... but 
there's no way to tell by looking at them, as far as I can see. I guess it 
doesn't really matter a whole lot.

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.
