Pathway X2 owners

[D&J]

We've been having signal strength issues with our 6 year old Tailgater, after taking it apart and cleaning years of desert dust out of it it's better but still low signal on most satellites. I'm talking 15 to 32 depending on the transponder mostly around 20. Before I spring for a X2 what kind of signals are you getting.

We generally get 53 or better if it can "see" the satellites.  We use a Winegard roof antenna as our primary antenna.  Our X2 is normally used when we can only "see" Dish eastern arc satellites (5-7 wks a year).  As our Winegard also serves double duty as a "tree locator", we will pull the X2 out from time-to-time to see if we can get better reception.

I like the X2 a lot.  Really appreciate the ability to select either eastern or western arc. Easy set up with our 211k receiver.  It's light weight.  We replaced a problematic Carryout with the X2.  David

We were unhappy with our Tailgater and got a Pathway X2. Way better signal and actually get more channels in. It has a larger dish so signal will naturally be better

We started with a Tailgater and a 211, the first trip we had spotty reception. When we got home I checked it against the antenna on the house and it had a lot less signal. We took the tailgater back and exchanged it for a X2 and the signal was almost as good as the house antenna.

 

We have since gotten a Trav'ler and use our Hopper in the 5th wheel.

I gave up my tripod dish for the X2 a year ago. We get mid 50s plus I like the option of both east and west arcs.
