Antenna for 1.2 GHz or 2.4 GHz
Hello All,
Considering the satellite frequencies currently in use and the frequencies planned for the future, would you install a 1.2 GHz antenna or a 2.4 GHZ antenna if you only had space for one additional antenna?
I am tending toward 1.2 GHz at this time.

Hi Ron,
Have you considered a log periodic or a dual band beam?
