[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 339595, member: 183150"] Whilst this not the area of a circular or 'elliptical' dish, it might be a way of comparing dishes 'one to another'. of like shape. :) Dishes are usually selected for their gathering power, which generally equates to illuminated diameter, ie: a function of the horizontal measurement, advertising people may well take liberties to exagerate the size of their wares. :D Actual area for a PF dish easy enough, but an offset dish more awkward being a bit egg shaped, and trapezoidal offset dishes :confused: PS. must learn to type faster [/QUOTE]
