[BC] Comtech versus Patriot dishes

[Chuck Lakaytis]

I much prefer the Comtech over the Patriot.  We installed a 4.5 meter 
Patriot in Anchorage and there were way too many parts for my taste.  
And we really had to fiddle to get the petals to line up as well as I 
like.  It does work ok and the signal strength looks ok on my spectrum 
analyzer with not a sign of it not being 2 degree compliant.

But I can assemble and erect a Comtech in a lot less time then a Patriot.
