It's a cheapo petalised Fortec dish on a rubbish stand, but it would impress (

) the hell out of the neighbours...

:clap:

Easy transport, as it just comes apart. Mark it up before you dismantle it for pain-free re-assembly.

This has been advertised before, I remember the bird **** :roflmao:

As long as time is taken when its assembled they do perform quite well.

Could be ok for some one to pull in showtime with.

Wouldn't it probably work better if he had a proper prime focus lnb on it rather than that offset type??

There's no way that LNB/feedhorn is going to illuminate that huge dish face properly.

It's probably performing like a 1.2m - but don't tell him, or the price might go up to a quid! :spite:

Yes it would work better with the correct feed. Im sure I have seen one on ebay. all depends on the focal distance.

If it stays cheap, could be ok for a fiddle. If you have the room :roflmao:
