I would definitely go with the dual pol equipment set.   For a $10-$20 difference between that and single pol, it’s just not worth it anymore unless there is an overwhelming need or desire to have a grid instead of a solid dish.

That's really the question.  It doesn't matter.  If there is a reason to get dual polarity, that would be fine.

I am pretty sure the 5SHPn radio is still available on Amazon, but the Poynting dish was getting tough to find at a decent price. (I found a couple for $200)

 

There are other 5Ghz dishes available, but most are now designed for the dual-polarity radios.

I'm looking at some new installations and need to identify the radio and dish to buy.  The dishes mentioned on the home page no longer appear to be available and I'm not sure if the radio mentioned is the best choice at this point.

 

It only takes about $200 of equipment to connect—that's less than a typical 2 meter mobile setup! Our coverage map is based on the following radio and antenna combination:
