[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 953071, member: 312276"] Unfortunately, for this program you have to know big and small axis and depth. If you do not know horizontal size than finding out offset angle and focal distance is more difficult but still possible task. Some ideas how to do that: - show picture of your dish and ask users of the same dish, may be they know some data; - look in manufacturer's manual, perhaps they have mentioned offset angle; - calculate (somebody has mentioned simple algebra before :D ); - if simple algebra does not work, look for another program; - other solution. Once I had an idea how to find out horizontal axis on multi-focus antenna by using dust tape and some water :rolleyes: But did not do it in practice. [/QUOTE]
