[QUOTE="guest poster, post: 508966, member: 262401"] Had time to check those Aluminium Fracarro Penta dishes a bit more and they are a good recommendation for a good solid reliable dish to go on a diseqc motor - those installations look really good too, you can see they are a good choice for a reliable installation- we(I) like messing, engineering wise, and any dish that I go near usually gets modified, not really too viable for regular professional installations. You still need the side by side acid test on a well known fringe satellite like 26e between the Penta and a basic 1m dish and haven't found an example of that unless we do one. My instinct is that even the ISS 1m mesh will beat it on a calm day after maxing both out with the best LNBf matches etc... but the ISS’s still need bracing. ============================= It's a recurring problem with diseqc motors- if you want to put the larger dish sizes on them you have to get the weight down- ali or thin steel/ mesh above 80cm if it's a 1.2 max motor or see the motor fail early and it doesn't help that the motors are usually only advertised with the max dish size and dishes often without their weight.
