[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1079332, member: 175144"] The 1251 is not a Ku band approved antenna despite them being sold with both C and K band performance. I recall there being a feed stabiliser arm being recommended when supplying different feed arms, though I'm not 100% sure if this was to actually give better rigidity of the focus, take the weight off the reflector with a heavy ODU , or a combination of both. Regardless, the antennas as advertised come with a Cband only support system, which would require replacing, or modifying to fit a Ku band front end. The dishes have also been in storage for at least three years, plus an undefined number of years on station before they were dismantled (the Stratos branding was dropped at least seven years ago). They should be checked carefully for distortion, reflector damage and all parts necessary to reassemble. [/QUOTE]
