It looks bigger than a 1.6m!

Looks about right - those petalised dishes aren't much good at Ku band though, little better than a 1m offset.

its now been changed to channel master 1.8m

crossbones · 15-12-07, 05:09 AM

must have been the question I sent him, as I didnt think c/m made a 1.6m dish.

crossbones · 24-12-07, 01:27 PM

A mate of mine won this dish. So guess who will be installing it for him!

I will get some pics up of it when Installed.

Is he going to be using it on Ku or C, I was watching it with an eye to buying it for some C band experiments but being a scrooge I stopped watching once it got above £60. Let us know how it performs either way, will he be painting it before it goes up?

I think it will be for both. Not sure what he is doing regarding the paint job.

Thought that one was going be mine

Put in a max of around sixty and didn't bother to watch it.

I'm sure it'll perform well at Ku with the right F/H and a bit of setting up though.
