Looking at the DS3000A from AOR USA. Wondering if it isa good backup/permanent installation versus the portable of handheld yagis like the Arrow.

A discone might be OK for an uplink antenna where you can generate higher power to make up for the poor antenna, but I would not consider one for a downlink antenna.
