Here's the official blurb...

And yes - 7W no problem if set up correctly. Handy for Showtime on the latest Diablo release!

So at the front of this dish its just like my 88cm Triax with the arm? All the other Channel Masters I have seen don't usually have arms, or have I just not seen em?
they have 3 feed arms that come together and bolt to the lnb holder as seen in the below pic, not my dish btw another members found it in my dish pics folder

Thnx for posting the pic.

They said it was grubby, but from the pics looks like it coud be rusty? Wonder if it just needs a clean or maybe a full re-furb. If it is rusty will this effect the performance?

Thanks

I'd say the dish is based at the radio station Spirit FM. Also in the pic, you can see another dish on the side of the wall, so it looks like a radio station build.
