| Re: Why not for the US? Only 1W? How high up are those satellites? I've ran setups to 23,000miles and we'd have to push a few dozen watts just to get through heavy clouds and a lot more if it was raining really bad.

| Re: Why not for the US? I agree with you, but remember,in a sat terminal you are amplifying a wide spectrum(multiple channels). A direcway, any other residential sat setup only needs to amp a small carrier.
It is just like many Wireless ISPs that use 5 and 10MHz channel widths to increase range instead of the standard 20MHz Wi-Fi channels.
I was a direcway customer about 5 years ago and used to lose sync every time a dark cloud got in the way.
BTW, I still have the equipment, If anyone wants it. | |
