[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1035062"] That is a Cahors (formerly Visiosat) SMC120 in a Rx/Tx configuration. I used to have one but sold it as in those days it didn't quite cut the muster for Astra 2D. It weighed about the same as a Channel Master 120, so I would hesitate putting that on a H2H (as CJ says). Good thing is, that it's a lot cheaper than a channel master from new. As an alternative, with almost exactly the same performance, you should consider the Laminas OFC1200. It is the same size, and arguably the same performance, but weighs substantially less due to it's construction. I have one, and it is much, much lighter than the CM or the Visiosat. And as evidence from this site (and around the net) will show, others have it without problems on "normal" H2H motors such as the Stab 120 (if placed in a semi-sheltered position). Keep in mind, though - that is mostly about the weight issue. The area of the dish will catch very strongly in a good gale if mounted in an exposed position. Not all H2H motors will survive...
