Sorry, missed your question.
I don't think so, but there's no way to know for sure, but they show they same unit being drop-chuted on the back of a HMMV out of a cargo plane and it's 'certified drop-ready' on their website.
More investigating hints that all gyro based (including the KVH) sat dishes are having the same problem right now with satellite 110, and require firmware updates for Dish networks. I don't think there's any problems with DirectTv. It has to do with dish relocating the beacon on the 110 satellite to a different transponder. I don't have any problems with the 119 satellite.
KVH folks seem to have a semi working firmware update, raysat seems rather clueless and the customer support is terrible. I didn't have any dish-compatible options when I ordered mine, but I would never recommend Raysat to a friend.
