Hello,
I'm evaluating many solutions prior to choose my new dish. In the 1.8m category, Prodelin (CPI) 1184 seems very interesting.
The problem is: which motor? I'm looking for a 2-axis system. I just dropped professional mounting and motors because they are very expensive and too heavy for a common roof installation.
However, I do not want install such antenna on a cheap, not accurate, polar mount. So I ask for any advice regarding a good AZ/EL motorised system that can be controlled by RC2000a or similar. My goal is having total control of the dish (azimuth and elevation) to track inclined orbit satellite, too.
Also, the dish seems offset, but in the datasheet we can read Prime Focus offset.... What it means? Prime focus or offset? Can anyone explain better please? Thank you.
