I've had 2 of the Bullet5HP's have bad connectors, not the 2's. Being the geek type, took them apart and found that the fingers coming off the connector had very little solder on them and none was only under the connector and not on the sides or top. Essentially only enough to tack it on. The

Yeah, that would be a nicer cable. Honestly I'm afraid of popping the connector off the UBNT ones when I have to bend it so sharply. It must have been another tradeoff since the area between the rocket and the connector on the antenna is so small, you probably couldn’t bend a much thicker cable

No, but they could have put the connectors on the bottom of the antenna, and on the bottom of the radio (where they belong!) And used a 12 piece of lmr240. On 12/18/09, Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.com wrote: Yeah, that would be a nicer cable. Honestly I'm afraid of popping the connector

Why would you want the connector on the bottom? So it can fill up with water? Being on the top, the water will run over the connector and not fill it. Makes sense to me. Of course, we still seal them up. On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 9:06 AM, Jeremy Parr jeremyp...@gmail.com wrote: No, but they

Working with GWI beats working with Fairpoint. They are a skilled and fair project leader. Any participant will have the same advantages provided by the project and could tap in at any splice point on the rings. I counter that it's not a monopoly if no provider can have more than 25% of it.
