I forget, was it the IMSAI computers or Altair that people would buy the kit
and throw away everything but the Intel CPU chip?

Sounds like you need a bigger dumpster for all those excess dishes and
diplexers.

Maybe it's like buying a Happy Meal just to get the toy.

Subject: [AFMUG] Airfiber 11 radios

I've heard a rumor that the only way to buy an AF11 radio now is in a kit
with Radio+Single Diplexer+Dish.  Single radios cannot be purchased.  How
can you keep spares of equipment if that's the case?

The price has gone up too.  We were getting bare radios for $585 last year.
Now if you break the cost out of the Dishes and Diplexers from the Kit, it's
$680 for just the radio.  And places that have bare radios listed in their
online stores (but have no stock) have a single radio in the $900 range.

Is UBNT Just trying to kill the 3rd party Antenna market?  Or were they
having problems interfacing to other dishes  because of their unique N
connector method?  The part that really annoys me is that I can't just have
spare radios sitting on the shelf.
