I actually just got a RD-5G30-LW. The connectors are just RP-SMA. You'll have to trim the shroud that covers the wires / connection to the radio. Additionally, things seem to fit a bit better with a RF Elements StationBox S enclosure. I also got the precision alignment kit, which I found MUCH easier to deal with than the Mikrotik setup. Next on my todo list is some performance comparison with the MTAD-5G-30D3-PA.

Seeing coverage from Triangle in Sequim I decided to order equipment from Streakwave.
Seems they no long carry the Mikrotik MTAD-5G-30D3-PA dish due to “high tariffs” and suggested a Ubiquiti RD-5G30-LW. Is there a better recommendation out there that the organization would recommend.
Streakwave says the connector on the RD-5G30-LW is an N Female which I find difficult to believe. I put a question on the Ubiquiti Community page and the answer there was the connector on the dish was an SMA Male. Not sure believe that either.
So, is the Ubiquiti dish a good alternative to the Mikrotik and can anyone confirm the type of antenna connector on the Ubiquiti RD-5G30-LW?
