Identify this dish?

[shamone]

Does anybody know what make of dish this is?

I am going to pick it up tomorrow and need to check if it will fit in the car, or borrow a mates van.

Looks very much like a 1.2m Satchaser to me. Had it inside the Picasso I had, not too much trouble.


EDIT, No its not, not enough bolts holes through the dish face.


Think its a 1.2m Fortec Star, actually.

Thanks for that Robbo.

It is up on Gumtree local to me for £14 so I had to get it

I am using my old man's Scenic so it should fit ok.

Wasn't that the one just been _E b a y ? There was a picture of the back of it which wasn't painted black, looked like a Channelmaster.

 

[shamone]

No mate it was from Gumtree.

Have you got the e b a y item code.

 

[futumsch]

Nope, sorry, either i'm talking pony&trap, or my internet explorer has stopped showing browsing history. Probably the former, and I was getting confused with e b a y item 130447642372. apologies.

 

[shamone]

Ok I have got the dish now.

Cost me a grand total of £13

It measures 1.2M horizontal and 1.3M vertical.

I have attached some pictures to see if anyone can shed any more light on the make.

I am going to test it mid week with my spare Inverto Ultra.

I am looking for a better rain fade margain on the 5E nordic beams..

I will post up the results when completed

 

[Robbo]

I don't think that it's a fortec star now, as yours has the elevation adjustment threaded rod, don't think the fortecs have that.

Brilliant for fine tuning, that is.

 

[shamone]

I was just looking again at the dish today and I am sure the mount is upside down.

If you look at the first of the three pictures the adjustment rod is at the top.

If this was mounted this way on a motor then the rod would hit the top of the motor.

What do you guys think?

I think it's designed for a standard pole mount, or a motor with the arm at the top.
