Note that there are radomes available with and without shielding. The
shielding is the piece that helps reduce interference, and so the normal
radome without shielding will not help reduce interference.

Radome: https://mikrotik.com/product/MTRADC
Radome with shielding: https://mikrotik.com/product/Sleeve30

We use the mANT30 PA with Sleeve30 at a number of mountaintop sites.

Since there is only one version of the RB912UAG-5HPnD-OUT, you won't need
to worry about getting a US vs INTL version. This only starts to become an
issue with some of the newer models.
