[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 942707, member: 178786"] Martin, OK, got it now. That looks to be a fixed azimuth mount for the 90cm dish, it does not look to be a polar mount for motorisation? If I understand correctly, the two Precision dishes you have are both with fixed azimuth mounts and not polar mounts? The fixed azimuth mount you have for your Precision 1.5m dish that fits onto the 4" pole can be used as a fixed azimuth mount for Precision dishes larger than 1.5m provided the rear steel mounting ring is the same size. For the larger Precision dishes they used a 4" pole. I think you have an original Precision 4" pole ground stand with matching fixed azimuth mount that was used for a range of dishes and in this instance it was used for a 1.5m dish but it can accommodate a larger dish. What I have here is an original Precision 3" pole ground stand with matching polar mount that can also be used for larger dishes subject to the 3" pole being rated as stable for the dish size. In this instance, I have a 1.5m Precision dish mounted, however, the polar mount can accept larger dish sizes subject to the dish rear steel mounting ring matching the 3 fixing points on the polar mount. I think that has cleared up my confusion. [/QUOTE]
