Channel MASTER 6346 3m SMC dish

[Channel Hopper]

The Prodelin has eight panels , which makes adjustment to a true parabola much easier. The Channel Master relies - more - on the moulding technique and the stability of the material in the field over a long time.

0.3 f/d is not out of the ordinary for a prime focus design, but it does require a highly efficient feedhorn to capture signals effectively over such a wide aperture..

Hi!what's your opinion using NITEC ROBOT EGIS, for this dish?
I'm afraid not heavy enough, don't you?
And countebalanced it?How much?

Egis has/had a 400kg guarantee, though I am not sure what sort of limitation on warranty you might get based on the turning moment should anything break in the case of high wind/gusting.

Additionally temperature does take its toll with aluminium parts fracturing in extreme weather conditions.

Have you contacted them for their stance on the conditions their equipment is going to undego at your location ?

Don't put that dish on a EGIS, it will rip it to bits

No, I haven't; I live at 800 m , in Dolomites mountains region; climate is quite cool, snow is the problem.
I registered max 55km/h gust speed .
My polar arc is limited because the mountains from 55°E to 27,5W, so only 83° escursion needed, maybe in this case is an advantage fon EGIS, or not?!

Your dish is to big for this motor as I mentioned, read the specifications here
EGIS - Antenna-Rotor

Don't expect it to perform very well in KU band, the reception in KU will be similar to a channel master 1.8

i don't think so, i have both antennas and 3m is far more performances, almost 3 dB better
