John, I will agree with everything chuck said with the the exception of the following: But for amateur use where few if any are running horizontal polarity, there is no reason to employ CP. And yes,

Re: 2022 Update - Favorite hardware/SIM option for data/telemetry?
If you're looking at cellular, and using, or thinking about using, Cradlepoint, another option to consider is OpenGear (full disclosure, I work for a company that sells both of these products).

Re: International crystal manufacturing
AFAIK there is no longer any place/person or company that can perform temp compensation to crystals as a service. This leaves it to doing it yourself and on most channel elements /? Icom's or other

Re: Circularly-polarized antennas for two-way?
Adding to what Jeff said. For the example of the JPS-SNV-12 the default switching interval is 250 msec so that switching is at a syllabic rate. It can be set as short as 50 msec but then those switch
