[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 939451, member: 312276"] I was wrong and Wim right! That dish is not PFA, but it is exactly the same dish I got couple of days ago. First one came without any metal parts, only the plastic mirror. Of course, I measured it but I did not check it's geometry, I mean- did not make string test! And that was fatal mistake! Dish, originally has not flat face! Means it is not PFA but offset. As my last Prodelin came with set of paperwork, I've read that dish has 16,14* offset angle and when I measured dimensions I got exactly the same numbers as Echostar had. So, 2 dishes with exactly the same dimensions can not be PFA and offset, that is obvious! And then I put dish face down to the floor and it started to swing on horizontal axis. And now, the funniest part of the story: Some moths ago, thinking Echostar is PFA, made new feedarms and LNB holder and installed that dish and even cached some signals and also tuned it to the Clarke-belt on the polar mount. Was not impressed by performance, but, actually, it was not so bad as well. Of course, 16* offset angle it is almost PFA! That is funny! [/QUOTE]
