I have only good things to say about Aztrax. It is easier to mount than
Follow-Me-TV having a lower profile (sent the FM-TV back when I couldn't
find a good mounting spot) . I've mounted mine on a horizontal rail using a
BBQ bracket. It comes with it's own dish(16").
 After two years it's operated with no problems, at dockside, and while
swinging at anchor. It has three azimuth speed settings, so far I haven't
needed the highest. Pitching at anchor hasn't been an issue yet. Since these
systems only track horizontally, they don't compensate for vertical motion.
Full tracking systems will cost more than 2-5X as much.
