You should not just look at gain figures as they don't say much for real scenarios, just a hint.

We have two Channel Master 3.0M here on the Swedish Broadcasting Television and they are average performers due to the petals and bad feed design.

They had to modify the feed design a bit.

The Prodelin will probably be worse because it contains even more petals and the errors will be more if you dont assemble it right.

I never liked petalized dishes, they are only good for transportation and if you need a petalized dish keep it to the minimum, the Channel Master is the closest one with only four petals but the dish isnt made anymore since ages.

Why don't you buy the Aerial Oy 3.0m aluminium antenna?

It's one piece and great performers, they are commercial quality.

The 3.0m Aerial cost about 1,500 EURO plus shipping, they also have 4.2m and 5.4m antennas.
