…I promise.
Got all my equipment waiting for the installer who arrives tomorrow:
Technomate 6900
Moteck SG2100
LNB 0.2 Strong
Triax 1.1 Metre Dish
T&K: 18"
The question is the shop where I bought the Motor had some very nice looking 1m Fracarro dishes:
Fracarro 1 Metre (Steel) Dish
Technical Specifications
Gain; 39.7dB
Clamp size; 30-90mm
Ratio F/D 0.66
The disadvantages with the Fracarro are it is 10cm shorter (just the height), made of steel (so slightly on the heavy side) and white (bit more noticeable than the grey Triax).
My question is:
If it were your own personal installation, which one would you go for in terms of quality. Will the Triax outperform the Fracarro with size alone and/or should the build quality of the Fraccaro dish be taken into consideration? I know the Fracarro is no Channel Master, but I'm just wandering if the smaller Fracarro would outperform the larger Triax after reading statements like this elsewhere:
As a very rough guide, the sort of experience I've had with Triax equipment, you can equate a 1.1m Triax dish to the performance of an 80cm Channel Master dish. |
Sorry, I should also say a quick reply is needed because the installer is arriving tomorrow. Please don't suggest other brands like Gilbertini becasue I've only got time to use either of the above dishes.
