[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 24855, member: 176379"] Also i would recommend you choose the dish with the lowest F/D ratio, i love dishes with ratios of 0.30 and lower, that makes low-noise LNB work much better and you get much better C/N with a deep dish than a dish with a F/D of say 0.40. I know DH have dishes with 0.30 and lower...... Problem is that you need a good feedhorn, not many makes good feedhorns for these dishes. I recommend Seavey Engineering, they makes no doubt the best feeds for deep dishes. I experimented about 10 years ago when i worked with dishes, the difference i got. I had a 3.0 meter dish with F/D of 0.28 and a 3.0 meter with 0.38 First i tried a Chaparall Feed with the adjustable feedrings, it was a disaster on the deep dish, however it was marginally better than a standard feed. When i got the Seavey feed for the deep dish, it was alot better C/N than with the other dish. The result is that a low-noise LNB around 0.5dB works much better with a real deep dish with f/d of 0.30 and lower. [/QUOTE]
