Hi Mark Indeed after 38 years the deck likes to have a repaint. I have had done it 2 years ago in Monastir, Tunisia for a low price but obviously good quality. The deck is still quite new after the 2

I still have the old Ubiquiti Bullet 2HP which is similiar to the Groove. Depending the conditions I use 2 different kinds of antennas. The usual rod antenna has the characteristics as shown below: 36
