A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

One of the selling points of my old Winegard 3m was its interference rejection due to its depth (f/d 0.25). 5G wasn't an issue in 1989 though but radar altimeters were and still can be.
Same with apparent jamming of signals from across the borders in middle Eastern countries. microwave fences were more expensive than digging a hollow to put everything inside.

Pickup through the IF cable - in particular verticals - on buildings meant very few dishes were put on roofs.

I won't lie . I am tempted. Would rather go bigger tho. R u planning on selling the 2.4 or is it just a trophy ?
It's being used to set up the 3.8 optics, I do have a 3.1 prime focus I may be tempted to part with, but it would need a large van or car and trailer to carry the king post and motors.

Echostar 1.5m(?) dish in Burton on Trent, £45 buy it now. Can't see any dish mount in the photos and the LNB holder looks a bit odd?

No, they did not. It is just a seller cheating, cuz he wants to sell his antenna better. It is 120cm model.

Indeed .... was just about to post that the l.n.b / feed piece is the wrong way round.. feed should be facing the sub reflector .. l.o.l.

Edit ...
A motorized 1.2 Fibo is still a very good setup ..... they are quality dishes :cool:

Yes agreed Nelson, I have one here. Adapted it to fit on a Jaeger 1224 supermount as the original motor and mount supplied let the dish down with a bad design..

I think, after realizing that was bad, they upgraded later versions with made in the USA mount, which was a great move. I have one of those, and it works without any issues (thanks @Trust for helping me find one in Nijmegen).
