Similar to how they say the AF24 can go up to 10miles, which is effectively bs, the max 99.99% availability reliable range is 3-4 miles almost anywhere on earth that a substantial number of those radios coild be installed.

I can't quite tell if UBNT over states their gain, L-Com understates their gain, or if there is another fundamental difference, but the L-Com 900mm dish is only rated at 25 dBi. I have not used it, but I've been happy with their 400mm unit. http://www.l-com.com/wireless-antenna-24-ghz-dual-polarized-dpd-series-parabolic-dish-antennas -Chris On Sun, May 14, 2017 at 5:22 PM, Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuh...@gmail.com<mailto:eric.kuh...@gmail.com>> wrote: I have not seen one that is anywhere near reasonably priced and can be equipped with a (first party or third party) side shield/radome kit. The Radiowaves stuff exists but is a design from 15 years ago. Willing to bet the Radiowaves 3' and 4' size 2.4 GHz dishes are great at gathering unwanted 2.4 noise from the sides...
