[QUOTE="Chris Wilson, post: 1112559, member: 416751"] Sorry to have been vague. Mainly for 2.4 GHz TX using a helical or POTI antenna, initially a fixed mount would suffice. I am naieve enough not to understand why there are different solid reflector dishes for different frequencies. A while back a big used Andrew dish appeared on Ebay and was mentioned in the large dishes for sale discussion here. I seem to recall someone mentioning it may not be suitable for certain frequencies? I did not understand why a parabolic solid dish was frequency dependent. I am using a 1.8 meter PF spun alloy dish for QO-100 RX and TX at the moment, with a Bullseye LNB and a POTI TX antenna coaxially mounted. It works well but I am on a small holding and could accommodate a bigger dish, so why not, I ask myself? ;) I would then use the 1.8 meter for reception. I doubt I'd ever get keen enough to want to track none geostationary satellites, so nothing more than a polar mount is likely to be needed, and I'd be happy with a fixed mount on a big dish. I am not sure what "Band" 2.4 GHz is in. If you have the time and inclination to briefly explain the limitations of dish versus frequency I'd be obliged, for example the Andrew Ebay one that I think is still there, cheers. [/QUOTE]
