I really wanted the ears to be able to do this.... My desire was a 17" wide box, with removable ears which could mount either way to wall mount.
After a dozen or so scary quotes and not finding any standard manufacturer which would do this, I gave up. The new enclosure has fixed ears... however, I may check with my newly-found enclosure vendor and see if we could get a modified version of the product to support this configuration. And back on the 12 port unit.... it sounds like there's enough need out there for the 12 port unit that it's staying on the roadmap. I mainly wanted to make sure that I hadn't killed the demand for it with the rackmount product. -forrest On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 5:22 PM, George Skorup <geo...@cbcast.com> wrote: > I have a site w/ 13 radios right now. 4x90 5GHz 450 cluster. 4x90 900 FSK > cluster.
