[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1117216, member: 175144"] I did say 'certain kingpost/polarmount combinations'. If I could see the drawings of the 2.4 mount that is [S]being cobbled together [/S] on order a more informed answer could be provided. The CM dish I acquired a month ago included a custom king post, about 6' in height and 6.6" diameter to take the official Az/El mount supplied by the manufacturer. Whilst the CM design can be used in both normal and inverted configuration I have usually installed them - and Prodelins in the latter configuration to normalise the front / back weight distribution, though the disadvantage is the feed/LNB ends up requiring ladders to service/change. I have not checked if the inversion makes a marked effect on thermal noise, this might be more important for hotter countries than the UK. [/QUOTE]
