A license key to use the SFP port? Seriously?

The kit consists of three parts: the SFP module itself, the extended gland, and the entitlement key to apply the license to the radio. Matt From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Carl Peterson Sent: Thursday, August 3, 2017 9:17 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] 450M SFPs 1) I know you need to buy cambiums SFPs to get the license to unlock the SFP port on the 450M, but once the license is applied, is there any limitation as to what SFPs you can run? Would much prefer to use BIDA so we can just run clearshield simlex with SC SOCs on it and so we don't have to waste fiber. Has anyone tested other SFPs in it and have any not worked? 2) The SFP cage is flush with the exterior of the case and has very little space in the antenna side of the cage so you can't screw the cambium gland in whith an SFP installed. Does the SFP kit come with a special gland with room for the SFP and connector?
