I don't understand this argument that 1N and 2F are the same model and therefore the reception will be the same. Surely the most critical factor here is the shape of the transmitting antenna, which will be different in 2F, and at the fringes of reception that can make a huge difference. The only question in my mind is where is this fringe area as we haven't been given any detailed footprints of a UK spot other than the very general one. But one thing that is for certain is there will be differences somewhere on the outskirts of the beam - and the further away from the intended target (the UK and Ireland) you get the greater the chances for change.
