We have a number of 2-3ft single-pol 5ghz antennas sitting around the shop, and in many cases prefer not to pair them up into a dual-pol peanut on the tower. For more robust antennas like Radiowaves/Andrews, the options to replace the feedhorn to turn them into a dual-pol model range from $300-600

I read that they don't really recirculate the air.  They have an intake at the front and a relief valve at the back. Pressure outside the plane is low, but forward motion of the plane compresses it to a higher pressure and the valve stops it from getting too high. Sounds like it would be safes
