That's the Laminas. Did the quality look ok compared to CM or Prodelin?

If I was choosing between Laminas ( assuming it is 1,8m), I would, of course choose Prodelin or CM. Laminas seemed to me not such a professional dish, but, anyway- good one. It is couple of centimeters thick. I do not know what is inside, maybe foam.
And, again, will consider taking it depending on price asked.

Unfortunately, this is only 190, maybe even 180cm and primefocus. Seems that they have more than 1 dish for sale. But, it is made for military, so should be robust and dependable. Not for paintball for sure :rolleyes:

It is only ~300 kliks from me. And, in reality, dish comes in 2 parts, good for van. Nice dish, but not for me this time. If this ad was on Friday, I would, maybe consider it.

this is just the reflector, no az/el mount or polarmount, no arms, no feed, nothing else.

OK, maybe not polarmounted but on Az/El mount and perhaps without feedarms. If there are no feedarms than could be problematic for some users to use it as antenna, but only as bird bath (for a big birds) :rolleyes:
No mount at all? This could be not so good.

Edit: In antenna system parabola is most important part, rest can be made. So, if ad stays till begging of the next year, I will contact seller and ask some questions.

When you get to this size dish, you need some pretty solid hardware for mounting.
Although I have no professional view on this, I would dare to say that it is unfortunately not something you cobble up with an angle grinder, a welding unit, and some L-bars from a builder's market...
You'd probably have to cough up with a good sum to get either an original mount, or a satellite supterstore polar one (3000GBP!)
