[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 74756, member: 175277"] Interesting option and the 2.4 Prodelin is very cheap - why should it be is my first question - are you sure that the dish has not been dropped or damaged in some way? If the dish is new then a very good buy indeed, Astra 2 D for your lcoation is difficult at best due to generally poor side lobe performance at your location. The vertical transponders in particular are difficult at your location I would suggest that the expected EIRP is between 36 and 40 DB, consequently there is risk even with a 2.4 mtr of very high quality that you will occasionally have problems during poor weather etc. If you are willing to risk occasional drop of in signal then go for it, but keep a reservation in your mind that occasionally you may have reception problems. What LNB, feed horn, and reciever have been selected for the system? you should set the system finally with a spectrum analysier. best regards Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
