Hi all! Questions: Does Channel Master 2.4m (RX version) has the same fitting for lower feedarm like one CM 1.8m antenna? And length of the original CM 2.4m antenna feedarms are ~ 1970mm and 1515mm?

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Yes, the Rx version I picked up a few years ago had a front end arrangement that was the same as the 1m and 1.2m dishes - ex VSAT -I have been installing.

I can confirm that the bottom feed arm clamp is identical for 1.8 and 2.4 dishes ...
its difficult to get a precise measure of the feedarms whilst they are on the dish .... see below my attempt to measure one of the side arms.

Thanks, @nelson_b So, the long feedarm could be about 202cm (from the LNB-holder to the mounting hole). And the bottom feedarm is about 151cm?

Didn,t try measuring the bottom one (more difficult- and it started raining ) will try and look later when the weather clears somewhat ...

Dimensions of the ones here on tape measure. The rx/tx support arms are a completely different length and have no end bolt
