Motorised 2.4m Andrews/CM/ASC dish

Greetings!

I'm looking at buying a pair of 2.4 meter dishes for downlinking ENG feeds and have seen them for sale at Satellite Superstore. The only issue I have is that I need to motorize them as we'll be hopping satellites regularly. The appears to be no mention of any motor control options on the SS website, they have an option for the 1.8 meter but not the 2.4.

Any ideas of a suitable supplier? Ideally I'd like both azimuth and elevation control.

Cheers,

Andy M

There is no polar mount for the monster 2.4m dish.

If you can afford one you could mount it on an Egis motor.

this might interest you

My System: None at the moment

Actually there is a polarmount from a German manufacturer Apexsat.
