I have two Rocket Dish RD-5G30 with out radio The radio apears to be $81.00 on amazon and befor i buy the radio would i be any better just getting the Ubiquity PBE-M5-400-iso power beam @ $150.00 ea
would one be better than the other P2P 7 mile path?
when installing Power Beams on a tower, one north one east one west on a rohn 25 can you put one on each leg or stack two directly above each other a foot apart with out interference? what is recomended spacing?

You mentioned cost, so I did a cost comparison.
Ubiquity PBE-M5-400-iso power beam @ $150.00 ea 26 dBm, 25.0 dBi = 51 dB
Mikrotik LHG-5 ..........................................$75 25 dBm, 24.5 dBi = 49.5 dB
Mikrotik LHG-HP5......................................$95 28 dBm, 24.5 dBi = 52.5 dB
Mikrotik LHG-HP5-XL................................$110 28 dBm, 27.0 dBi = 55 dB
I have 1 Ubiquiti M5 PBE and several Mikrotik LHGs in use.
The Mikrotik LHGs are lighter and easier to install and aim.
Install 2 nodes "with out interference?"
My tests indicate that, as long as the channel/bandwidth does not overlap, there is no interference.
If same site channel/bandwidth overlaps, there is interference...a reduction in throughput.
Vertical separation is best.
I hope this helps,
