I started with the ELK due to the cheaper price as it does dual band without a duplexer. I've been very happy with it and its currently in my back yard on a rotor (its cold outside this time of year). For comparison, I bought the Arrow 5 months ago. Contrary to N3TL'd very respetable and valued comments, the Arrow does seem to do better for me, holding a signal a little lower in the sky. No leaps and bounds, but noticeable.\n\nI'd sum it up like this:\n\nElk\n+ cheaper all around\n+ can be easily set up for permanent use\n+ easier to aim due to wider beam width. Log periodic are like this.\n+ smaller and very fast setup/teardown\n+ one connector for dual band.\n- no handle for handheld use . You have to make one, but it's extremely easy to do. And no threads for tripod.\n- inconvenient if using 2 rigs. Must but a separate duplexer.\n\nArrow\n+ copies a few degrees (just a few) lower than the Elk at my QTH\n+ convenient built in handle and built in threads for tripod\n- narrower beam width - have to \"aim\" better.\n- not easily set up for permanent use. No simple mount and you wouldn't want to leave that \"in handle\" duplexer outside \n- Can easily use for 2 rigs. Just don't use the duplexer (if so equipped) and plug into the separate UHF and VHF\n\nMike WB1AAT\n\n-------------- Original message from \"Trey Brown\" <[email protected]>: -------------- \n\n\n> I'm looking to get started in FM satellites and am considering \n> purchasing one of these antennas.
