I am looking at the LDF5 sold by Microcom and their webiste says "The device comes preinstalled with RouterOS and is ready to use.LDF 5 US (USA) is factory locked for 5170-5250MHz and 5725-5835MHz frequencies. This lock can not be removed." It's mostly the word "locked" that is bothering me.
Considering the pile of gear/junk I have sitting in my garage (LinkSys WRT54 and various 2.4GHz antennas), that were listed in older HamNet site, I just want to be sure I'm not buying more gear/junk for my pile and instead have something I can proudly display on my roof.

Just to be sure, locked does not mean locked. Right?

That lock is within the Ubiquiti AirOS firmware. Once it's replaced, the AREDN firmware controls the radios' parameters - you're good to go!

Thanks Orv. I just wanted some assurance that I wasn't wasting more money.
