I have had good luck with my Carry Out.
I carry mine in the back of toad as it is too large to lay flat in compartment.
Unit can be set to either Dish or Direct by changing dip switch setting.
The cable (power) on dish end is crappy. I used a cable tie to hold connector in place. I leave this end connected.
Power to the dish is through a cigarette lighter plug. I changed this to a standard two connector pin plug, and added it's mate to a location on outside of rig rather then adding a cigarette plug.
I would also like the later smaller dish, but the Carry Out that I have works good.
I would be buying early Carry Out for $150-225. No more then $275
