[QUOTE="aceb, post: 990197, member: 268811"] I'm looking out for a polar mount that I can adapt to fit the FS as it soon gets boring having to manually move the dish then the LNB each time. If you can only put up one dish no matter what size and you want a serious dabble on C-Band then you can't go wrong with one of these, it'll beat a 1m dish on Ku so will equal what many people have for that band. The beamwidth is much sharper than I was expecting so it's crucial to move it very gently when peaking the signal, if I get time this week I'll check both 31.5W and 36E, the former is a good test of beamwidth trying to resolve the ORTM signals on the side of Hispasat and the Sub Saharan beam on 36E will be a test of gain, normally get 12073 and 12245 on the 1.8 (just 12245 on the 1.2). Incidentally the Jonsa website shows they do a 3.2 and 4.2m version, who's up for getting one of those over? :) [/QUOTE]
