Are you certain that you built them correctly? I just got mine, and there was an instruction sheet (Rev B) that was included in the box, which had the wrong instructions. They were up to Rev D. The biggest error was that rev B had the wrong orientation of the vertical feeder block, and that could throw off the RH circular polarization. Just asking, as perhaps it may be worth it for you to check your build against rev D, if you haven’t. -Kevin (KK4YEL)
My response has been about equal for both of them. I only do FM satellites. I thought I had an issue with my Arrow and my mentor let me use his Elk and for me, they seemed the same. I found my issue with the Arrow after tearing the whole duplexer apart and using a DMM on it. It was my headset and it was on mute. I check that every time now.
