[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 636332, member: 175144"] Well the reflector you have is definitely the same as the 2194 series (the 3180 is similar but for a higher frequency, and so the mounting points and backplate are usually made to a higher specification). But the feedhorn and arms are from a receive-only antenna, and it may be these that are the wrong dimensions for the reflector. The easiest option is probably to enlarge the scale drawing you have of the 2194, and measure the arms with a vernier caliper, and then fabricate a proper set for your dish if the ones you have are much different. Nice dish though, you will be impressed with the performance once it's properly assembled. [/QUOTE]
