Penta 85 is up again

[Captain Jack]

Here are the pics of the reinstalled Penta 85 dish. Used two K brackets for extra rigidity.

The dish picks up good signals from 53e to around 8w, beyond which a house gets in the way. A bit high on the pole, but that is purely to get decent signal from 53e as there's a house to clear. The dish in the pictures is looking at 5e.

And yes, I will tidy up the cables later...

Great job there

Nice job there, I think a coat of white paint and you wouldn't see it by there at all.

 

[Captain Jack]

Yes, was thinking of painting it especially as it's on the front of the house. Will any spray (bar non-metallic) paint do? Will there be any signal degradation?

I have never painted a dish so not really sure but I think many people just use a tin of car spray paint, with thin even coats, but don't take my word for it!
