I heard another Theory last night that UBNT had too many of the Kits in
stock, and now they're trying to get them sold off before they start
offering piecemeal parts again.
Some beancounter probably had their eyes light up when they thought of
the Kit idea, and it was met with enthusiastic nods around the
conference table, after seeing all the glossy charts with arrows
pointing up, and giant dollar signs and Moneybags. Then nobody bought
them, so other parts are just magically 'unavailable' now to drive up
kit sales.

Agreed. I’ve sold a bunch of them and they’ve been solid if
unspectacular...but the price was right for certain applications.
I’m REALLY concerned about their new kit program. They said they
would sell the bare radios again, but that hasn’t happened yet.
If you have a link (depending on where you are) longer than 7-8 miles,
you need bigger/better dishes than their 2.5’ dish. Right now, you
have to buy the kit and the other dishes and hope you have a use for
the 2.5’ dishes down the road. Horribly wasteful. Radiowave and KP
built dishes specifically for the AF-11. They are really screwed
right now.

While the 11 has issues and other vendors have far superior products

This is why I'm moving away from UBNT for 11ghz backhauls. They
jacked the price up on the stand alone units. Stock has been
non-existent since November/December which was the last time I was
able to order stand alone AF11 radios. Now a rumor they will never
sell them again without their crappy dish? Which BTW has steel bolts
on that you know will turn to rust in a couple years which really
pisses me off. I know that other brands cost about 2x-2.5x like
Aviat but for the same licensed 80mhz channel you can get 1.4gbps
full duplex and I have never seen a AF11 radio actually push over
600 meg. Had a 5 mile and 6 mile AF11 link fade in the rain just as
bad as a AF24 would on a 3-4 mile shot. I'm going all Aviat from
here on out, 11, 18, 80ghz. Their pricing is extremely competitive.
Ken is awesome, always emails me back within 30 minutes with any
questions I have. Hell you can buy a 80ghz link that is keyed up for
10gbps full duplex for $5200 out the door. Siklu's promo for $4200
link will only do 2gbps which you can't even get from Baltic because
they are sold out.

Sorry, ignore that. I will forward this issue internally so that
the AF11 is added. So many changes, so little time...

Streakwave was telling me that originally too, but it
was during the change of the model number of the
standalone radio. Now that the model number for the
stand alone radio is changed, price is a bit higher,
but they are once again available.

Why in the world would you buy crappy radios from

Not gonna build my business model around a crappy

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.
