Anyone tried this antenna or have any experience of it?

I might order it as i want to try it out, 10 years warranty on materials and high quality on all parts.

One thing that i am bit worried about is the gain of 41.8dBi at 12.625Ghz, it seems a bit low for a 120cm antenna or they are measuring in a different ways compared to the other manufacturers?

Look at the picture below, it also comes in a standard offset model.

The Gregorian is a VSAT model, used for transmitting as well. Maybe they are quoting the TX gain.

No it's Rx Gain.

They want $286 for the Gregorian model.

There is also a 6-segmented version available.

i thought you at one time was getting a 1.35m fibo copy from that spanish dish manufacturer, TECATEL ?

No, it's to cheap quality and the nightmare of shipping a metal antenna from Spain to Sweden is a 50/50% chance of getting here in good shape.
