Surely UBNT can make one invulnerable to 100,000V!

Good to hear. Just about to put the order through.

I've had good luck with the few ARC panels I've used.

  I've got a couple of the ARC 5ghz omnis up... no problems with them, so far. 

  I do have a couple of the 2.4ghz omnis sitting on the shelf too, quality 
seems quite good.

  I've used a few different brands of dual polarity omnis, and the only ones 
I've ever had any issues with were UBNT - that being the cap coming off one and 
it filling up with water, and another one getting blown to bits by lightning, 
but I can't really blame UBNT for that...

  The tower that got taken out by the straight line wind was built with sectors 
expecting a decent load.

  It has around 25 folks on it, most of them 1Mb customers. Not exactly a 
return on my investment.

  I'm replacing 802.11g sectors with an 802.11n AP w/omni. Might regret it, but 
it is what I'm doing this week.

  Anyone use the ARC dual polarity omni? How do they hold up against the UBNT 
omni?

  I've had decent luck with the 10dBi UBNT, but the ARC is cheaper and 
advertised to be made in the US.

  Thanks
  Glen
