What Josh said. The EB-ePMP is awesome. I've only been using them for a few months but they seem to be holding up well. [For my first tests, I just used zip-ties, which worked for a week while I waited for the adapters to arrive.]
The Ubiquiti silicone boots do not fit the ePMP RP-SMA connectors quite the same way as the Rockets, but I've been using them without any tape and have not had any problems throughout our recent storms. -Chris On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 11:04 AM, Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote: > Jay - the adapter is like $5 or something > > http://www.rfelements.com/en/products/brackets/easybracket-for-epmp/ > > > Josh Luthman > Office: 937-552-2340 > Direct: 937-552-2343 > 1100 Wayne St > Suite 1337 > Troy, OH 45373 > > On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 10:28 AM, Jay Weekley <par...@cyberbroadband.net> > wrote: > >> I hate to revive a discussion that died a week ago but am I reading >> correctly that you used an ePMP radio on a Ubiquiti Rocket dish?
