Re: [amsat-bb] 2.4gHz WiFi panel antennas

Hi Jeff,

I bought a a wifi panel antenna on ebay--something like $14 shipped?  Should arrive in a few days.  It was not sold by the company directly, but apparently another user (he had several).

The manufacturer *does* sell circular polarized antennas, too!

LHCP or RHCP, see near bottom of this page:

Other interesting units:

You can also select the connector type.

Even the new prices aren't too bad.

At Dayton there was a fellow (sorry, forget his call :(  ) that was using a quad array flat panel.  It appeared to work very well!
