Anybody have experience with Alpha Network Dish-N?

Was looking at older posts and after searching, I then found this link online.

https://www.alfa.com.tw/products_show.php?pc=125&ps=161

It says that it is designed for Ubiquiti Nano M2/M5 and Loco M2/M5 among other similar equipment.  Looks like Nano or Loco will strap straight up to the dish.

Anybody try one of these with a Nano or Loco?

How much more actual gain/distance did you get?

They state 22dBi increased gain minimum.

$39.99 on Ebay

Ran an informal analysis of this...
I haven't tried this particular dish, but another like it.  The results of my analysis (at 3 GHz) are posted in the following discussion: http://www.aredn.org/content/are-m3-nanostation-and-m3-nanobridge-same-r...

There's a couple in the local area, but still on the "to-do" list to test out.  We're only getting these for the 3Ghz (because NanoBridge M3s are getting scarce).  In 5Ghz or 2Ghz, it's cheaper and higher gain to buy a dish packaging.  See:  http://www.aredn.org/comment/6952#comment-6952  ,  but of course if you already have the NS it's less cash outlay over all to upgrade it.
