That reminds me of a customer, can’t remember if it was stinger or dish, that
wanted to know if it was ok to paint it black. It actually does with some
paints. He was doing an install on Bette Midler’s house and everything was
black. If I remember the story correctly, all people working on the house had
to get bussed to the site in a bus with blacked out windows. Aincha never
heard of GPS... (pre smart phone days.

450b is more like 23 dBi, but higher xmt power for what that’s worth. Retro
would be 450b electronics though, so same xmt power.
450b has that weird interaction with roofs that Cambium wrote an app note
about. I still occasionally want to use an old style SM with reflector, but I
only have a handful left. It’s like Seinfeld and the sponge-worthy episode. I
found one today at the shop that I had set aside because when we retrieved it
from a customer’s house, he had sprayed his house red and didn’t mask off the
SM. But now I’m going to figure out how to get the paint off.
Cambium has made some improvements to the mechanical design of the 450b, I
still have a devil of a time getting the radomes on, and it’s still a pain in
the but to swap one from right hand mount to left hand after it’s all assembled.

I don't know...... I think the idea with the retro is a quick upgrade to
existing reflector dishes.
If you're doing a new install the 450b has 25dbi gain in a smaller package than
the reflector. Maybe I'm wrong.

I am scrapping my remaining inventory of metal reflector dishes.
Sales are so low that I would rather have the warehouse space for other
things.
Not sure what radio holders we have for them. You can have them for the
cost of shipping if you want them.
To order or for inquires email sa...@wbmfg.com
Sorry, it’s not Friday...
