Yup. There are even knockouts on the housing where the N connectors go.
The issue is antennas better than the built-in one are all pretty
expensive.
In 5.8 I'd have probably a hundred options. So maybe more accurate to
say "I hate 3.65".

the cambium 320 cpes just have sma inside, probably the same on the
telrads. when we were looking at external that was an option ala drill
bit

The antenna is the easy part, the case and mounting are more
difficult and expensive. Tooling alone for a new antenna case is
easily $10K+.

Yup. They have an array of metal circles on a board connected to
each other by traces.
What about a cheaper external antenna? The price to beat is $120.

Yeah, that will be an array of patches inside. Hard to couple to
with any efficiency.

Like a 45 slant 15dbi panel.
a 10" x 10" diamond with flattened corners.

I want to narrow the radiation pattern on Wimax CPE in order to
reduce interference. Higher gain is a bonus, but mostly I want to
tune out interference from other base stations and thereby improve
CINR.
Right now all I've got is I can put an external antenna on with
coax jumpers. A dish with a significantly narrower pattern than
the integrated panel is $120-$140 from KP Performance, plus the
cost of the coax jumpers and the labor to seal them.
I'm really missing the Canopy stingers and reflectors right now.
If I could slip something on for $50 I'd be all over it like white
on rice. I'd also just settle for a cheaper external antenna.
Any brilliant ideas?
