Hardware

I just got the "MikroTik LHG XL HP5 (4-pack) Antenna" and when I try to load the Aredn firmware I get the message.
Firmware CANNOT be updated
firmware file is not valid: firmware device match failed

version 3.23.4.0 Hardware Type: ath79/milrotik) mikrotik (roterboard-lhg-5hpnd-xl)

Out of the 4 dishes I got one to load the other 3 give me this message. I have load a lot of these deshes and never had a problem with the Aredn installation guide. Can someone help on getting the mikrotik deshes loaded.

My Reolink RLC-510A does not support POE.
Instead it uses a barrel connector for its 12 vdc.
I used this adapter add POE capability:

Does anyone have any experience with Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC 5 620s? I need to replace a broken PowerBeam 5 620 and would like to get the newer device, but the supported platform list shows it as untested. 

The feed horn for my 620mm Ubiquiti dish broke and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. It's intended to go on a municipal tower so I'm looking for something very robust. Should I keep looking for a replacement feed horn? Switch to a 500mm dish? Or switch to the large Mikrotik LHG?

I was able to use the Tiny PXE Server to load the "rb.elf" file and bring the node to the first "NOCALL" state. I then immediately installed the version 3.23.4.0 system upgrade per the instructions in the AREDN documentation.

The message on the web browser indicated that the firmware was being updated and that the node would automatically reload in 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the node reloaded, but did not come back to the Mesh Node Administrative Console screen.

I was given a pair of 900 mHz rockets and yagis that were previously flashed AREDN. I connected them to my hAP and temp turned on WAN so they could download the correct FW (I chose the nightly build). All went smoothly and I can get to all the usual webpages, etc from the LAN. HOWEVER, after flashing both rockets show power LED, ethernet LED (as applicable) and solid RED  LED but neither radio sees the other (they're about 10 ft apart and I turned the power down "just in case". WiFi scan shows nothing either

Does anyone know if a  Ubuqiiti airMAX 5 GHz, 19/20 dBi Sector Antenna AM-5G19-120 will work with a newer Rocket AC Lite R5AC-LITE.? Will the R5AC-LITE slide into the bracket on the back of the sector antenna?  Assume the antenna SMA lines will be the same.

I was at the Hamvention this is year and saw a small WiFi transceiver at the, I think, the AREDN table.  It was about 6" square and the guy said it ran about $65. 
I know this is a sketchy description, but I was wondering if anyone could give me any information.
Thanks,
