Hi there,
Im looking to boost my reception here on Crete. Seems we're in a bit of a cold spot here south of Greece/Italy and close to Sicily so Im not looking for 2D, but was hoping to get everything else.
What do you think will be better, a 2.4m offset Channel Master, or a 3m prime Prodelin? They both seem to be in my budget (Prodelin seems a bit cheaper) and both seem to have good reputations, so Im really just interested in which would perform better.
If I still cant get everything besides 2D with either of these then so be it. These are going to be hard enough to hide as it is I just want to give myself the best chance upto a certain size, and I think 3m is it really. On the other hand, I could probably go a little higher in price if I had to if anyone has any other suggestions. But I really do want to keep size in mind.
From talking to local guys there really doesnt seem to be that many larger dishes around so Im shooting in the dark a little, unfortunately. I think there are a couple of locally made 2.4 offsets around but they do have some loss at times apparently. Im not sure as to the install quality or the other equipment used though.
Mine will be going on a Pace 2600C and, I dunno, an invacom quad I suppose?
Thanks for any help guys.
Edit: BTW, right now on my local 1.2 I get 2A south, 2B south, pretty much all of S1 I think, and some of 2B north. I get none of 2A north or Fixed. Many thanks.
