We use the UBNT 2' airFiber dishes, or Lightweight RocketDishes (same thing except H/V vs dual slant), for pretty much everything now... they're deeper dishes, so there isn't a lot of need for extra shielding (in my opinion, anyway), but they're probably not the best option for PTP650, since they have SMA connectors.
I would look at Jirous - they make some nice stuff. On Mon, Oct 3, 2016 at 1:54 PM, Ken Hohhof <af...@kwisp.com> wrote: > Probably Rocket Dish with RF Armor shield? Or Jirous?
