Thanks Dutch, but I thought any dish had problems with trees and other structures. We mainly travel in the west and use Western Arc programming (orbital locations 110, 119, 129) so the Eastern Arc is not an issue for us.
Certainly all dishes have problems with trees at times, but having the choice of either arc at significantly different azimuths means you have a better chance of finding a useable hole. Where I'm located right now, my 1000.4 dish can only see the eastern arc birds (61.5, 72.7, 77). If I only had a western arc head, the dish would have to be located in the middle of a neighbor's site. Fortunately, I have both heads on hand.
