This also depends on the glass to resin ratio.  The data below is 
incomplete.  Get the proper data from Isola directly.  Must know both 
frequency and glass to resin ratio.

From the Isola 370HR data sheet:


Freq.           Test Method             Er
100 MHz         (HP4285A)               4.24
1 GHz           (HP4291A)               4.17
2 GHz           (Bereskin Stripline)    4.04
5 GHz           (Bereskin Stripline)    3.92
10 GHz          (Bereskin Stripline)    3.92

This isn't good data.
First of all, they only tested only once (you can tell that there is no 
variation in their Test results).
Second, they don't specify the test Method they used, and there are official 
test methods giving totally wrong results (the old 1MHz plate capacitor 
method @ 1MHz used to be quite inaccurate).
Third, the Data is measured at 1MHz, thus these values are useless for 
speeds exceeding 100MHz

I recommend to go by the Datasheet (Isola is usually very good at dk/df 
testing), or test it on your own, but 2.173 is physically impossible for 
glass reinforced resin as the glass altready has a much higher dk.
