It arrived with the edge of the dish bent up AND the mount bent (!). I contacted the vendor and they sent another one and said they would send me a UPS label for the return. After 3 weeks, I emailed my contact and told them that if I didn't get the shipping labels, I would give it away. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Well, it has been month with not a peep from them, so: I am offering up the antenna for free to someone who could use it. I bent the mounting frame tabs to fit the dish and cleaned up the edges of the dish as best I could with an adjustable wrench as a bending lever. The dish itself has maintained it's symmetry and I was able to bend the mounting tabs to match it, so it should be fully functional. Just to make sure, I assembled it and it looks fine, except for a bit of unevenness at the very edge of the dish. It is ready to mount a MikroTik radio (I juse the MikroTik RB912UAG-5HPnd). Here is a link to the dish's spec sheet:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://i.mt.lv/cdn/rb_files/mANT30-140526124123.pdf">https://i.mt.lv/cdn/rb_files/mANT30-140526124123.pdf</a> (it is the one on the bottom)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I would prefer to pass this on to someone involved in Emcom activities who will actually use it - or someone helping someone else getting set up. Give me a call to arrange pickup, I will not ship it. I am located in NE Seattle in the Maple Leaf neighborhood, you can find my address in QRZ.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>73,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>John, K7HV<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>206 947 0545<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
