Thanx, but that is the AV 2055. The one I am looking for kinda telescopes out and doesn't have entenuators (sp). It is small enough that it will fit in a 2mag pouch. Thanx Paul

Found it, it is called the DM-C125 and is made by EDO Antenna Producs and Technologies, and will cost your local S-4 about $5700 ea.

smaller?
Ran into an 18A from 7th group in Afghanistan that had a smaller satcom antenna then the AV-2055. Looked at the above links but either to pricey or to big, any one have anymore links or NSN's?

Miniature Folding SAT Antenna
I believe you are looking for the AV-2125-series antennas made by Trivec Avant Antenna Systems at http://www.trivec.com. Why waste thousands of dollars when you can make a high gain expedient antenna that would get better gain, weigh less and take up less room? I have another post in the 18E pipeline that covers this.

Yesterday, the guys at TSE showed me their little SAT antenna with their new little 50 watt amplifier. They were nailing the satellite every time. To measure the link margin, Ed had a 117F and was doing RSS tests. In order to get a score less than 100 he had to point the antenna in the opposite direction and lay it down almost on the ground. Very impressive.

Sat angle
In the States, is the satellite is at a low angle, almost on the horizon? If so, the amplifier is necessary here in the states but not overseas? If the satellite is at a high angle, you should be able to tag it with radio power alone. TSE comes up with great gadgets.
