I meant to post my Central America experiences sooner, but forgot.We traveled from Pharr Tx to Panama City Panama.We had excellent reception down the east coast of Mexico and into Belize.Both Guatemala and Honduras were good with a little less signal.We watched the super bowl at the Nicargua border but we unable to connect from there down because the .74 dish has 66/67 skew limit. From that point southward the skew is greater than the equipment is designed for.An F2 should work fine since I am told it has a 90 degree skew ability.
On the way north El Salvador,Guatemala and of course Mexico were fine.
Travel safely
