Very nice. It looks like it's got a TX filter on the feed. I don't know if that OMT covers the RX band on both ports.

The Prodelin 1244 2.4m Ku-Band dish I use in Australia came with an Rx/Tx feed assembly that can receive on both the Rx and Tx ports.
It is currently setup with a pair of Norsat PLL LNB's, one on the Rx port, the other on the Tx port and it works fine.

Dented IRTE 1.2m. Looks like it has been hit by air gun pellets from a distance.
Back plate and mount look better than usual and fixings aren't rusty.

Those dents should knock out with the right wooden block and mallet. The feedhorn is missing and the clamps are unique to the fitting, requiring care as they do corrode.

Certainly the best polarmount on the market though, and a solid groundstand.

Looks like a fake Superjack actuator and and a two bob meccano mount.
The best bit of kit in the listing is the dish and it is shot to bits.

literally...
 
I messaged the seller. Dish got damaged when moving it in small car along with mount and other bits. So not target practice . Also paint came off when cleaning for eBay. A shame. Nice bit of kit
 
I recommend against buying one of these 2nd hand. I brought one on ebay a year or so ago and they're pretty flimsy and the paint comes off quite easily. I ended up throwing it away.

I knew I'd seen one somewhere, it was here:

Planning to have a sniff at C-Band - specially at 40.5w and 58w but will look into getting a polar mount and motorise it. Well done on securing the dish at such a bargain price ... they are a very sturdy dish - i,v had one for 20 years now and it was around 10 years old when i bought it ...

or is it a 1.8m?

Edit - The combined manual is for 2.4m and 3m versions.

Channel MASTER 6346 3m SMC dish

Hi ! Just an information after a lot of time I found the original polarmount of 6346 dish. At the moment I use Proform h-180 motor , but it's' not enough for the antenna in KU, so I am going to install original POlarmount: the question is: I see there are only three declination set-up, for use...

I cannot find similar for the 1.8 but perhaps there is a 2m version

On page 3 of that manual it states the 8 feet version is 2.03 metres diameter, which isn't even 7ft :confused

I have what I assumed was the 1.8m version. Each petal measures 97cm from the face edge to centre of the Channel Master name plate (which looks to be missing in the eBay dish). I guess if I measured to the edge of the rim it could stretch to a metre. The dish is currently dismantled.
 
Only come across two of the1.8 dishes before, one I had and the other Captain Jack had. Still got the mount for mine with a 2.2 precion on it.

I remember working an a couple over 20 years ago, they would have already been on site for a few years.

New Cahors 0.9 multifeed dish very near here

www.ebay.co.uk

Cahors Visiosat Big Bisat Satellite Dish - 90cm SMC multi satellite dish BROWN | eBay

The Big Bisat is bigger then the Bisat G2, i.e. 91 cm width and 70 cm high versus 75 cm width and 64 cm high. The Cahors (before Visiosat) Big Bisat is seen -by many people- as the best antenna available at the market.

When I remember correctly, the Big BiSat dish has a bit smaller gain than the (normal) BiSat dish, even when it is bigger.

But is has more multifeed potential, and the quality of the dish is indeed good!

I really like the look of these. Much more so than the T90 ones - despite having a bigger range and gain.
