The comparison is meaningless - as different receiver makes and models all give different readings..However the biggest dish Ive ever tinkered with is a 1m - bigger dishes have narrower acceptance angles and a 1.8m dish will be very difficult to set up accurately for weak signals without a proper meter</blockquote>
