So typical issues with new product lines coming thur.. Gen 1 tends to be a good attempt but often issues are found and worked out. Gen 2 tends to have the 'fixes' Gen 3 has improvements (actual).
Another trend that we see is that lots of mfg are having the practice of introducing 'improvements' in the product line, without making a lot of noise (I can understand the reasoning for it). So, I what I shared earlier was on the basis of having some first hand information about internal improvements (and I am not talking about the 'hardware lockup bug'... they have redesigned and improved the 60ghz antenna on the newer units and that is why I specifically stated the 2.5 unit)... (FYI, I have a couple of units that are supposed to go up on a 1.1 mile link, next to an AF24 for testing... as soon as time permits). Regards.
