I wanted to update the group on an experiment that I am running. Over the winter, I disassembled one of the flat face rectangular dishes, and built a flat mount using starboard and lexan for the cover. I permanently mounted this on the roof of the coach.
We are 4 stops into the summer journey, and I am happy to report two results. One, we have been able to VOIP and stream video with very little issues. We had a problem one evening when a huge storm rolled through but I think the ground mount would have had some issues then too.
The second result is that it works in motion. That was rumored on the interweb but untested by me. I am subscribed to the standard 150.00 mobile plan.
We are carrying a second dish with ground mount for those tree covered sites but so far so good on the flat roof mount.
No, I haven’t measured speeds between the two methods. It’s working for what I use it for.
