[QUOTE="DishDick, post: 679767, member: 216974"] Dear All, I know you can add petals to prime focus dishes to increase their reception area, but is it possible to add petals to an offset dish to increase their reception area? I ask as I would like to try and attempt to get some of the missing vertical transponders. I am lucky that one of my neighbours used to have an engineering company and would welcome a challenge. I thought that adding 30 cm all round (making dish 3.6 x 3.3m) could be done by using a section of the current outer 30 cm to make the mould, then making 8 petals that clipped onto the side of the dish. Thus the curve of the dish would be maintained. Thoughts please. [/QUOTE]
