And an f/D of 0.65 is very usual for an offset dish.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Gibertini dishes (in the main) have f/D of 0.67 and are perfectly capable of working with dual LNBs.

It's not something I install much of, the toroidal designs offer more equal signal path efficiency across the arc
