Hi

The problem is that you can easily spend $10K proving to them that they can't enforce the silly rules….

I didn't hear any rattles when I shook the unit so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. They do appear to be pretty rugged so I'm hoping for the best. The reply from the seller ignored my poor packing complaint and said "this is used, it can not all are the same. our guaranteed is you can ask for refund if it can not works." I assume they have a boatload of them bought very cheaply and they are playing the odds that they will make more from replacing a few that don't survive shipping than they would if they spent a bit more on packing material for all shipments.

So far the shingled roof hasn't been a major obstacle and the GPS antennas are above the HVAC ductwork. I'll see if there's any difference between this antenna and the HP that's on the Z3816 now.
