The big delimna for years, is that Trango has the unique advantage of Dual
Pol on the fly.
If you give up Dual Pol flexibilty, whats the point in using Trango, that's
their main advantage.
Sure the Rootenna are cheap, we use them for our Mikrotik/StarOS CPEs.
I suggest the MTI as a match for Trango, because its the only one available
at a reasonable price.
Even Trango's model (without the back) goes for $300.
I'm not that big a fan anymore of the MTI panels, they break way to easilly.
I attribute it to the overly hard plastic, that does not absorb shock.
I also think MTIs are to expensive, for retail QTY1, often around $300 also.
But in Quantity the MTIs can be gotten pretty cheaply.

Those MTI's are nice looking product. Nice price too. Have you checked out
the pac wireless 5 gig rootennas yet?
They are working great for me and they are cheap.

Although legal issues involved... (so not indorsing or recommending this
idea)
An Atlas Fox, mounted inside a MTI 24 dbi Dual Pol antenna w/ stock
radio case back, and a custom mod to bypass internal antenna and jumper
to the ext antenna connectors, would be less expensive than both a base
Fox5800 unit and the 5830SU, and give us 16 more additional DB, which
would make it a fantastic combination for a high end business or
residential CPE able to survive the noise, upgradable to OFDM, and easy
to mount. But most importantly, it would only be one radio CPE type to
stock to cover all needs, allowing it to be easier to make quantity
orders.
In qty 25+, MTI w/ case $245 (maybe a little more with import charges)
Atlas Fox $149.
Pigtail Jumpers: $15 Total: $409.
It would take more time to hack(build), but it would save time by not
having to muck with the dish. So why is Trango not doing this yet?
