Josh,

I agree with the recommendation by Tom Hayward for the mANT30 antenna with RB912. You can add (or not add) a radome to that. The radome can help reduce interference with a second dish if you end up setting up two links. You may or may not find it more aesthetically acceptable with the radome, a matter of personal preference – but that might be a factor in getting your City to accept it.

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.

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

When ordering the routerboard, you need to be very careful to make certain you order the international version.

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.
