[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1010244"] Ah, yes, OP mentioned Ka. For this your normal SMC (plastic) dishes may not be quite up to scratch. Ka requires very high surface accuracy, which I don't know if the Laminas has. (The OFC1200 is not rated for Ka from the manufacturer.) Other SMC manufacturers (Prodelin, Skyware) have special reflector models for Ka in the 120cm sizes, which are a lot more expensive than the "normal" Ku band ones. This doesn't mean it won't work. It just means your mileage will vary. C-band is probably easier than Ka; you can use normal Ku dishes fine - although there the bigger the better is the rule. anything <120cm will give yoy very limited reception. But - choice is yours. Be carfeul - you may find that you will want multiple dishes, one for Ku, one for C, one for Ka... ;) [/QUOTE]
