Hi,

Is anyone selling a 1.8m solid dish in Merseyside or the North West in general?

Thanks

Nowhere near you but I do have a Laminas 1.8m in the garage doing nothing.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I have a solid, petalised 1.8m reflector here in W London, also doing nothing. It's almost certainly the Jonsa manufactured model.

Thanks but I have a petalised dish at the moment but it is a cheap one which I think isn't the best especially as I am using it for KU band so I'm actually looking for something non-petalised to replace it and hopefully motorise further down the line.

Thanks for the clarification, your profile doesn't mention a dish other than the Triax.

Ah, you mentioned it in the Es'Hail thread but not the model.

Petalised dishes can be used on Ku band and if carefully set up can give reasonable results, but yes, the IRTE 1.5 one-piece always outperformed the 1.8m when I was asked to improve reception.

Thanks Channel Hopper, its a no name Chinese petal dish, cheaply made and rusting, cost around £40 second hand but I believe they are only £100ish new.
