(Bryan, will you publish the photos you took when we built a node?) Just for example of labor and cost savings, we attach our antenna directly to the enclosure---no radio cable necessary. However, new developments have almost put me off from the ODE-8585. Today I took down a node we built with the ODE-8585. It was wrecked by a dribble of rainwater. We knew we were taking a risk using the cable gland upside down. Now it is apparent that it was a stupid thing to try. I am leaning back toward the ammo can, myself, since they have survived hot, cold, wet, or freezing conditions for greater than a year without a single failure. They are also cheap, and I think that we can build them quickly with the right tools, templates, and help.
