[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 24854, member: 176379"] My own experience is that you should choose a dish that is in one piece. I have tried most of the dishes when i worked with this and all i can tell is that Channel Master is extremely good dishes. If i was you i would buy the 2.4m CM. The distributor for this in Sweden is Barcom AB, [url]www.barcom.se[/url] Also i would buy a third-party H-H mount to it. If you want some old dishes that were sold during the 80's i would recommend the Luxor 1.8m Cassegrain dish. The Luxor worked like a prime-focus 2.2m, it was extremely high gain. Also i would look at Presskraft's 1.8m dish made in metal, those dishes Macab AB in Trelleborg sold hundreds of and they were extremely good also, but not as good as the Luxor as it was cassegrain. I wouldn't buy the IRTE 2.4m dish as it is in 8 parts and that makes it lower gain that the others. I also have a contact in Luleå that was one of the resellers of Teleste, he sold, in my opinion the best 2.4m prime-focus dish ever made, i think they still sell the dish. It's in one piece metal but it costs more than the Channel Master 2.4m. I don't see a reason you should go for smaller dishes, get the largest you can afford. [/QUOTE]
