So, unless someone has a bright idea, the 5SHPn and the 31dBi dish antenna are available for $120 total.  I'd like to sell them as a unit, because I've got a really nice (but easily removable) taped seal of the antenna/radio connection.  If you can't get the radio to work, you're only out $20.

Thanks for the info about NetInstall, but when I hold the reset button 
on the 5SHPn, it stops flashing after about 15 seconds, which according 
to the documentation is the supposed acknowledgment that it is going to 
search for NetInstall for a PXE boot.

NetInstall has the PXE server enabled, but never sees the 5SHPn.

Yes, $120 is a good deal for the package.
