[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1056112, member: 178786"] CJ, No the cat seemed very happy with the barn environment and other outbuidings in the countryside and I think it was well loved by the custodians of the property it owned. The equipment had to be purchased and transported so I did incur expenditure but the cost was acceptable. The 2.0 metre dish size was not so common but it was manufactured and is still on the list of antenna manufactured by Elite Antennas. I agree with you about the Precision polar mounts, they are very well built and capable of taking good size dishes up to 2.4m with ease. All of the Precision polar mounts I have seen except one have been for the 600mm rear mounting ring, that includes both the triangular frame PM and the square frame PM versions. The only variant I have seen was the Precision polar mount for the 1.8m dish I sold to "aceb" which was a very early design and was ultra heavy duty. I know that Precision used to fit a 1200mm rear mounting ring to antenna above a certain size. I think the crossover point was everything 2.8m and above had the 1200mm ring with the 2.2m and 2.4m having customer choice of 600mm or 1200mm. However, I have never come across a Precision polar mount for a 1200mm rear mounting ring.
