[QUOTE="izefisherman, post: 379743, member: 233523"] No, it is an old discarded dish I got for free. I hauled it home the 90 kms on a 245cm wide car trailer. I started out with an old Aerial 1.8m that came with the polarmount, also discarded after many years of service. It wasn't powerful enough to bring in all Astra 2D transponders, I only got the horizontals with it and perhaps an hour of verticals from time to time during mid-winter. A friend of mine first picked up the 2.4m with polarmount in his village. Later I was offered to remove the 3m in the pictures from an old CATV headend. It was too big for me so I swapped it with the friend for the 2.4m I have now. Polarmounts for the 1.8m and 2.4m are identical so the swap was only a matter of plug-and-play. My friend is modifying his polarmount to suit the 3m dish. The 1.8m dish without a mount went to another friend... Large used dishes are often offered free to remove because they aren't needed anymore and people/companies just want to get rid of them. But you can still buy the Aerial satellite dishes new, and recently a Finnish webstore has started selling them to private persons again. I also know of one person in Belgium that recently ordered a 2.4m with Az/El mount straight from the factory in Järvenpää. It was shipped in a wooden crate on a lorry. Normally however, the factory doesn't sell straight to private customers. Here is the finnish webstore selling them: _http://www.satman.fi/index.html?lang=fi&target=d17.html Scroll to bottom of the page to find the large dishes. Select "Lisää tietoa..." for the dish in question. Option prices can then be found using the "Valitse versio" scroll-down window. I haven't got any other documents than those available on the Aerial website, is there something specific you are looking for Likvid? I can ask around on the finnish forums, I know there is something to be found. [/QUOTE]
