Flat Plate Satellite Antenna

Flat Plate Satellite Antenna FARM HOME Miscellaneous 10-4-30 "This design has been used by the military since 1957," says Fred White of Future Communications, Inc., a Colorado company that's manufacturing a new flat plate satellite antenna. Unlike satellite dishes that require precise placement and lots of room to set up, the flat plate antenna simply hangs on the side of the house or mobile home. It easily comes down for trips on the road in a camper or recreational vehicle. The antenna looks like a solar panel. White says it receives signals directly, unlike dishes that reflect the signal to a receiver. Sizes range from 3 by 3-ft. to 6 by 6-ft. and prices range from $500 to $1,200, depending on how many channels and satellites you want to tap into.
