I also have a RMX tri-band fed dish that I use portable.  Works very 
well to be so simple.  I doubt it would take more than a few watts at 5760.

I recently upgraded my tower mounted horn to a wi-fi grid that I'm 
pleased with.  What I wanted was more gain with minimum wind load at low 
cost.  So far I'm pleased with the results.
