[QUOTE="mikefal, post: 943379, member: 385277"] This could be one for our regulars over the pond as I have the opportunity to obtain a 2.4M Fortec Star dish AKA Jonsa or other badged brands, the petalised reflector on the cheap looking turret base. This came about by chance at a recent garden party when I spied it standing redundant in the corner of the garden and after a brief conversation with the owner I doubt he'll expect any more than a drink and someone to remove it. I'm aware of the reputation these dishes have but I was surprised how solid the reflector felt, I did in fact try a discrete amount of 'persuasion' on the top that had no effect. It is in good condition, seemingly straight and with no corroded mount fittings or bolts. As I've been considering the possibility of sourcing a new 2.4m mesh dish for experiments on C-Band I'm just looking for any real world reviews or horror stories on it, possibly even a comparison on the performance of each dish. My initial impression of the FS was it's worth spending some time adapting it to fit a polar mount. [/QUOTE]
