[QUOTE="7mdish, post: 1117108, member: 401140"] OK, basically I just took my decision: Raven dish with its own Polar Mount by SSS. But I'm little bit stuck between 2.4m: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.satellitesuperstore.co.uk/inclined_orbit_satellite_dish_240cm.htm#raven18io[/URL] ...and 1.8m: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.satellitesuperstore.co.uk/inclined_orbit_satellite_dish_180cm.htm#raven18io[/URL] Both systems seem similar, obviously 2.4m dish has a larger and havier Polar Mount. Probably 1.8m is enough for most application in Europe, but I want to get feeds too, and as you know many feeds are often weaker than common signals, so 2.4m could be very important. Do you know the exact weight of both dishes? I suspect there are big differences in weight and wind load. I really do not know how can be the weight of a 2.4m SMC dish. If it was aliminium made.... well, probably it would be around 30 or 40 kg, but no idea about SMC. I must install the dish on the roof with a pole mounted in the concrete. What do you think? Thanks.
