[QUOTE="archive10, post: 963240"] ...and is piece of cr*p. It is flimsy and made from thin powder coated steel sheets. It is tricky to get assembled so that all petals are well-adjusted, and it will rust from the day you stick it up outside. Anywhere you fit nuts, washes or bolts, you will scrape of the thin powder coating, and the dish will rust and rust. I had the 180cm, and it was a real disappointment (but cheap). It may serve well as a single-or-two-season C-band reception dish, but if you expect more longevity and performance, get a large mesh-dish or - even better - a larger used IRTE dish... (Best is of course a large Prodelin or Channel Master, but these are expensive from new, and scarce as used...) [/QUOTE]
