I think they are copying but are also improving the product at the same time and according to their sales people, they can do it for a lot less money. There was a discussion on the DISH thread that I was monitoring that discussed a problem that they are currently having because of the multiple satellites being offered by EchoStar and the fact that the existing customers of EchoStar would be unable to access the Echo-III that was recently launched and is apparently on line or coming on line. A person on that thread is waiting for a response from FutureTrak to see if their space scanner or their Micro Planar Flat Array antenna is a possible solution to that problem as their space scanner can monitor up to 36 satellites and 3 simultaneously, and can switch from one to the other with the ease of pushing a button. Because this is a bulletin board issue and I have been burned before by great stories I am very careful to point this out to people because my name is more important to me than any one stock, and I have been posting on SI for well over a year, and would like to keep on doing it. There is just something about this satellite niche.
