I had a 2 and 3 foot dish working with Rockets for years. Tried swapping to af5x and couldn't even associate!
After so much hassle back and forth etc we discovered the dishes were misaligned. Rockets did 60 megs where af5x wouldn't associate. Af5x works a LOT better aligned than Rockets side lobed.
