I've seen lots of the stainless steel nuts on the PMP320 CPEs seize after a few years until we've started automatically replacing them on new units. Not great to have a factory issue like that but I've heard people say that Gemtek hasn't responded/cared.

Maybe I’ve been lucky, but I have not had trouble with that even after years. I guess I should be putting anti-seize compound on them, but it’s so messy. Metric silicon bronze nuts look to be expensive, like in the $1 each range, to swap them out yourself. Which of the many nuts would you want to be silicon bronze? Just the 4 that hold it to the pipe? Or also all the ones involved in the elevation adjustment?

What I really wish Cambium would do, or talk Laird into doing, is replacing the nuts with silicon-bronze like LMG uses on their stuff. Or just go to galvanized. The stainless on stainless sucks. They're $500 antennas and I shouldn't have to go buy extra shit for them.

You get 4 of them together and they weigh a ton.
