I'm in need of some gain antennas for my (HamWAN inspired) High speed
5.8 GHz backbone experiment.   While I'm sure there's one in my
future; the 30 db, $100 BBQ dish recommended is too big, too much gain
and too many dollars.   So - that brought me to the 20 dBi, $50 panels
at Fab-Corp:

Potential candidates are the Echo Series 5.8

And the tri-band patch:

Any known strong pro's or con's on either of these.   Maybe one of
each for experimenting?

These will be driven with the 5SHPn or Grooves so the matching N
connector is a requirement

Thanks,
Bill, WA7NWP
