Hi everyone,
I wonder if anyone can help me i have been offered a famaval 2.4m dish, the owner has e-mailed me that it does not have the 24 holes around the edge for extra petals so I am wondering if it really is a 2.4m dish or did they make one without the holes. The owner said it is 3 months old came straight of Famaval box.
This is the only picture I have as owner away for the weekend.
Thanks in advance
Nosmo

Seen the other pics on eBay - I would say yes it is. If you get it change the feedhorn for an adjustable one for slightly better results.

It's a fixed mount and can't be motorised.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I wouldn't trust it, besides the bloke is standing on a concrete roof without boards.

I can see the holes in the image you have posted.

And BTW, use the Famaval feed, not an Invacom adjustable one.
