The PA mount isn't worth the hassle, IMHO. Unless you have other
strong 5GHz sources nearby that will interfere with your dish, you
don't need the sleeve kit. It can always be retrofit later though.<br>
<br>
I'm guessing you'll be trying to shoot for S3.Lookout? Please
report back how that goes (RF signal levels).<br>
