The Lucaya enclosures don't really solve any problems for us. Most of our
customers are 8-25 miles away from our APs. We need higher output at the
radio, and higher gain antennas. But my comments below were more aimed at
the Ubiquiti PS2 device being everything we wanted for those mid-range shots
(the majority), up to about 15 miles.

Mark,
What don't you like about the Lucaya enclosures?
I have one of the 1208 versions to evaluate. I think I like it a lot. The
built-in antenna seems like it should be good enough for LOS customers
out to a mile, and with our trees few people would have LOS beyond that
anyway.
If I want to use a stronger antenna, I can plug in a VAGI (that's what
I'm leaning toward currently). And I can set that H or V polarity as
desired.
I should be able to just stock this single radio and be fully covered for
clients in 2.4GHz. Near as I can tell, it is slightly cheaper than the
Rootenna parts, arrives ready to install, and is FCC certified.
I do like the small Rootenna, but realistically I spent several hours
over the weekend putting together just 4 systems (and then testing them).
I would be happy to never need to connect another ufl pigtail! Just
testing the Roos in my basement, none of them worked as well as the 8dBi
Lucaya unit.

That's really too bad because this unit WOULD BE very valuable to me if
it could run StarOS v3. It's small, powerful, dual-pol, has LEDs to
speed up the install/site survey (I know that LEDs aren't everything in
a link), reasonably priced, FCC-Certified, etc.
HOWEVER, StarOS v3 is my direction, so boards, standoffs, pigtails, and
RooTennas it is. I don't like the Lucaya enclosures, or the enclosures
with integrated antennas.
