I buy Old satellite dish 2.4

[Dušan Šmigic]

A few days ago I bought an old satellite dish. The antenna is for professional use. Offset 240*260cm. Can someone tell me who the manufacturer of the antenna is, I haven't found any documentation on the internet. The main antenna support could be manufactured by "Prodelin", but the antenna itself does not meet any of the specifications of the world's antenna manufacturers. Sorry for the Google Translate.

Could be 1241 or 1251.
1244 has 4 pieces.

It looks similar to the 1251 model, (2 vertical parts, 6 screws) but it's still not that model..

If really old, could also be Channel Master 243 (prior to Prodelin/General Dynamics).

No, the back of the antenna is totally different.

It loos like the 'licenced' Indian version of the Prodelin 1250.

I seriously doubt it. If it's an old dish (prior to 2003), than it's definitely a Channel Master.
Dušan, every CM and/or Prodelin antenna has a stamp on the back of the dish confirming the model number and the company logo. If its not there, then its a clone or another make entirely which seems unlikely to me.

I will look tomorrow to see if there are any small marks or stamps on the antenna. Thank you all

Part 0490-183 is identical in the imagery to the Prodelin, the outer post diameter - 6.6" should confirm.

I didn't find any markings on the antenna. Previously, an "Apex" advertisement was pasted on the building of the television station. Searching on the Internet, I found a company that was engaged in the installation of VSAT systems. http://apexsat.com/index.php

 

[Satfaca]

That explains ... it is a clone afterall.

 

[Dušan Šmigic]

Has anyone had any info on those Apex antennas?

I don't know about old Apex antennas, but I believe that Apexsat is linked with Global Invacom now, and they sell Channel Master dishes now branded Skyware.

Apexsat was buying Prodelin antennas when Tripoint Global owned them.

 

[Dušan Šmigic]

This is the only marking on the antenna.
