[HamWAN PSDR] up and running!

[David Bliss]

I live on a sailboat and want a single dish I can use for HamWAN but also
use for picking up 2ghz Part 15 wifi when I'm travelling and anchored out.
Having two dishes is not ideal for a small boat. :)

The LHG XL 52 ac was suggested as possibly compatible by Bart Kus last time
I posted, so I ordered one to try it out.

I'd love any advice on dual-band hardware that might work.  Also, let me
know if anybody wants to buy my XL52ac or my LHG-5nD cheap. :)
