Re: ARGH! Ubnt radios freezing!

It's strange too because we have mountain sites the same as CMack where the tower is completely one solid block of hoar frost. You can't even tell there ARE antennas on it. And those aren't affected.

These are all sub 50foot installs. On buildings or Trylon towers. It totally doesn't make sense.

I'm curious if maybe this is a batch issue?

Unless all your spares are of the same production run, I would start swapping them out to see.

I would think the frost would actually provide some insulating value, much like snow since it isn't completely solid like a block of ice. Might not be much, but maybe enough to help keep the wind from wicking away whatever little bit of heat the devices are able to produce.

What killed me wasn't even the cold itself. It was the wind. The hoar frost is probably acting as insulation against the wind. Where the building sides can even see the wind accelerate on the exposed walls.
