UDK5X/UDK25X on AF series antennas

Finding it difficult to get a straight answer on this.

Do the UDK5X and UDK25X dish kits fit the newer AF-5G34-S45 and AF-5G30-S45 antennas?

Some say that it fits, some say it doesn't and some say it's a pointless exercise.

We have quite noisy towers, so like to have all the RF shielding we can get. We've used RF Armor pretty much everywhere in the past and would like to keep using it on the newer antennas if there's any benefit to it.

I do not see how on the 30dB, no holes to bolt it to it.
Not sure about the 34 dB

NO, they do not....well as said not the 30 dB

Correct....well same as above

NO, they are wrong if they are implying the shields do not help.

Use original antennas with slant 45 adapters with shield kits then compare to new antennas without shield kits....there is a difference.
