So what bandwidth would that be then? The KAs use different bandwidth, but bandwidth all the same. And the UK didn't buy modified KA350s to save bandwidth, they bought them at the same time as Reaper as they didn't know how effective either would be to replace the Nimrod in an overland ISR role.

Nice bit of fact fishing by you though...

PS You're link to the Hawker Beechcraft site shows a dual SATCOM datalink function on the aircraft anyway
