We are setting up a 5ghz link between a Nano and a Loco. Since there is no support yet for Loco XW I am wondering if anyone has a source for the XM units, used or new. Seems you are rolling the dice by buying off Amazon, Walmart, etc.
Any help appreciated.

I would suggest using that NanoStation instead of the NanoStation Loco, the initial few dollars extra investment is worth it my book. A little bit more and you get higher RF power and higher RF gain (you do loose a bit of beamwidth however)
NanoStation XW is fully supported in the release build (and a number of XW devices, including the NanoStation Loco are in testing support in the nightly build if you want to try that instead)
I agree, the non-loco is just a few dollars more... and a better performer IMO.
When buying used from eBay, I contact the seller and ask if the unit being offered is XM or XW... and supply instructions to make the determination. So far, I have always received a response.
Hello KG6JEI,
What about the Air Grid XW - is that being supported yet?
Thanks.
