[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 809209, member: 323322"] According to Flysat's equivalence table, it [I]might[/I] be ok (For Ku Band, not C Band). _http://www.flysat.com/dish.php BUT, not only would that be marginal even if whatever source you have for assuming a 40dBW Footprint Contour is reliable and accurate, but you need to consider that Footprint Contours are notoriously[I] inaccurate[/I]. Always best to take a pessimistic view and go larger, except if you have local robust evidence to the contrary. As you will note from the Table, a 1 or 2 dB difference between forecast and reality makes a BIG difference. [/QUOTE]
