According to the product page http://ubnt.com/products/nano.php it says the connector is "External RP-SMA". All of the ones I have seen have been SMA female (regular polarity). Did this change or is this a typo?
Trangos all have an RP SMA female for sure. The NS2s I have on hand are all SMA female for sure.

That has to be one of the most painful and irritating changes ever. I have a bunch of coax cables that can no longer be used for the NS...

I don't see where it makes a difference between SMA or RPSMA, but when you plan on it being one type of connector, then find it's different, this is a problem. I'm also wondering how many SMA radio's I have with an RPSMA cable attached? I never checked to see what connector was on each radio.
Docs said RPSMA, so that is what I used, then I find out there are some with SMA connectors.....
Better still, I have an NS2 that the label on the radio says SMA, but it is an RPSMA.....
I asked about this issue a couple days ago and never received much of an answer:

I was expecting an official reply from Mike or someone....
My main question was:
"What gives... are new build SMA or RP-SMA ????"
WHT, I do thank you for your reply....
I *had* a link to Mike's answer from last summer, but the links to the old forum posts don't work anymore and the seach engine in this forum...OK, I won't go there.
But basically, all Nanos from the early last summer production run up to now have the reverse connector.
