I have SR2/5s that I've never replaced that are from the original batch, installed outdoors, running at full power. I love the MMCX connector, and static discharge/lightning, I had a case of a RB133 that fried from a nearby lightning discharge that didn't damage the SR2.
All in all, very happy with S/X/R2/5 series cards. We went from CM9 cards before that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt Fankhauser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 5:43 PM Subject: [WISPA] Ubiquity mini-pci's worth the cost? > I've never used any Ubiquity product ever and its mainly because of the > $99 > price tag for a single mini-pci but from what I've been reading in some of > the Mikrotik forums these things are pretty reliable.
