[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1019643, member: 178786"] Rascals, Your Joe Soap dish has a surface area of approximately 0.78 sq metres A 1.2m dish has a surface area of approximately 1.13 sq metres By changing to a 1.2m dish you are increasing the surface area by approximately 44%, that will give you a decent improvement from your Joe Soap 1.0m dish. However, I personally think that you are still taking a risk putting a 1.2 metre dish on one of those Stab motors. It might be OK, but if you are in a windy exposed location I think it will strip the cogs or whatever gubbins are inside that type of motor. If you have plans to get a dish of 1.2m or 1.5m or greater, my personal recommendation would be to use a 36 volt motor such as a linear actuator with a polar mount or a H - H motor. Rgds [/QUOTE]
