Just won this antenna on ebay for my portable V/S setup. Hope it will work for what I'm wanting to do.

Plan on mounting the downconverter to the back of it. Now to program the memories of both my HTs.

Described at 19-dBi is enough gain, probably linear-pol so there may be a bit more fading if the satellite is spinning. I bought a 8-dBic RHCP wifi antenna but have yet to install it. My B5400 controller needs repair so no hurry.

I imagine it will work fine...super price!
