[AFMUG] EPMP Force 200, Buy only the Radio
We're getting enough F200 radios in the air now that we are starting to have some failures, mostly storm related. We just change the radio unit, since alignment is all done. So I'm ending up with all these F200 dish parts sitting on the shelf that have no use. Is anyone selling just the F200 radio unit?
Re: [AFMUG] ePMP Force 200
All of the Force200's we have used came with 2.6-RC13 I believe. We just got some more in the other day so now I'm wondering what's on them.

Re: [AFMUG] ePMP Force 200
If they make a dish that looks like a UBNT radio why would they not ship with Beta firmware like UBNT? Seems Normal to me..

Re: [AFMUG] ePMP Force 200
Seems like a questionable practice shipping product with beta firmware, unless the product itself is still in beta. For that matter, the whole “release candidate” designation is confusing. Is that like “presumptive nominee”? It’s either released, or it’s beta.

I just got a new shipment of Force 200 5ghz in yesterday and configured them and sent them out on 2.62RC from the factory. Don't let them leave the shop with that firmware. It's missing about 40 freqs in the DFS ranges. Tech spent an hour service call figuring it out after hours. Just upgrade the firmware to 2.62 even though it's a 2.62RC from the factory.
