[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 98740, member: 176379"] DH 2.4m is good, probably one of the best antennas you can buy today, but it got a f/d of 0.375 which is pretty good, you can't get everything and i don't know any other dish that is much deeper than that on the market that is 2.4 meter. I still recommend Seavey, you will see an improvement over any ADL or Chaparral feed, specially Ku-band. The Chaparral Corotor which is C and Ku-band have HUGE losses in Ku-band. I've used one many years ago and with the 3 meter dish i had and it was working like a 1.8 meter at Ku-band with the Corotor, that huge loss you will get. The feeds in the combined C/Ku-band polarizers are really C-band feedhorns that is a compromise, Seavey have made the best product of them all but it costs more. Seavey is like $440 and the ADL or Chaparral is like $150, difference is about $300, not much of a big deal really....... It's not fun having a 2.4meter dish that performs like maybe a 1.5 meter dish in Ku-band just because you wanted to save $300...... The other Czech product i know nothing about....... The small dishes that entered the market many years ago spoiled the whole thing when it comes to regulations, we wouldn't have any regulations if it wasn't for all small dishes that was popping up everywhere.... In my country there is really no regulations for a 3 or 4 meter dish, if you own the house it's up to you what you want, however dishes like 5 or 6 meter needs build permit. BUD is a bad word, they are not ugly, how can people think large dishes are ugly? what i think is ugly are all small dishes everywhere with Diseqc motors and shit that people are setting up..... Nothing is nicer than a large dish. [/QUOTE]
