Yes, you can get ku-band on a prime focus dish. It could be mesh or solid.
The size of dish required depends upon the quality of the make and the sensitivity of the LNB. I think a solid dish has slightly better gain than a mesh dish so you might get away with one slightly smaller than 3m - but not a lot smaller.
