[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 650264, member: 325666"] Hi Dovercat ... The TD110 is indeed a relatively heavy steel dish with what I beleve to be exceptionally high gain qualities for its size.. I suspect this is why its much loved .. It weighs in at around 17kg I believe ...and has given sterling service ..as has the SG2100 ... In fact the reason the TD110 was taken down and moved to a dark motor ...was actually nothing to do with the motor at all .. It was in an exposed location being partly above gutter line ...and constant buffeting by wind actually damaged the dish clamp where dish meets motor stubb .. I saw the opportunity to repair the dish and fit in a slightly more sheltered location on the same wall ..but further over and below the gutter line...and with a new motor ..which claimed better support for dishes over 1mtre.. The sg2100 was duly greased and pressed back into service driving a steel 80cm dish.. During this time the motek motor was examined and found to have almost zero play ..even after severe wind loading ...and still tracks the arc perfectly from 60E to 60W .. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
