I think we've had more than one discussion on how awesome the Jirous dishes are. Other than maybe something super high end like Andrews, Gabriel, RadioWaves, etc. at $1k/dish, I don't see a need to use any other manufacturer.

At a minimum, people should be using 25 db dish antennas. We plan on using minimum 30 db dishes on these links to improve link budget and block noise with the narrower beam. Why all of a sudden 2-3 people are using panel antennas is beyond me. We don't have one panel antenna in our network and not sure why we'd ever start either. Dishes all the way!
