[HamWAN PSDR] Dish questions

[Bart Kus]

The PA mount isn't worth the hassle, IMHO.  Unless you have other strong 
5GHz sources nearby that will interfere with your dish, you don't need 
the sleeve kit.  It can always be retrofit later though.

I'm guessing you'll be trying to shoot for S3.Lookout?  Please report 
back how that goes (RF signal levels).
