Thank you Stephen, and thank you, Carl! I am curious to hear back on the 802.ac issue, so that will be a factor. I made a table of what I've learned so far. I like that the Dynadish is smaller and appears to be faster and more robust. If I understand correctly, the wider antenna beam width would make it more forgiving for aiming it at a HamWAN site. The Dynadish's increased power consumption is a downside for battery life. Does anyone how much the Dynadish actually weighs?
