[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1130163, member: 175144"] The same IRTE post and base clamp was upgraded from a welded post and fixed tripod in the early 90's, I have installed perhaps fifty of both types and neither has moved in the wind, though I ave only installed up to 1.8m petalised on them, not the 2.2 extender panelled version. For a dish of 2.4m (and of fibreglass reflector weight) I would use the same base tripod, but weld two struts behind the installation just under the polarmount collar, extended into bases of their own to counter the forward mass and stabilise when east and west of 0 degrees.
