If you're having multiple issues, I'd recommend this to people, and in the long run, it's worth the cost not having to wait for a vendor to make it out during an outage or intermittent time of issues.

On the version I use, there are some bugs that are probably resolved in the latest version.

Not being able to accurately predict interference and then engineer or react accordingly does cost us money.

Connections from the antenna to the main unit are not efficient to connect and disconnect. Also, not thought out for placement of the cable between the unit and antenna to not catch the things disconnecting it during use.
