As some of you guys will know ..I inherited due to a mistake by the vendor ....a substandard 1.1m dish ..
The most important problem here is the lack of an LNB arm ...so I figured I might try to make one ..
This dish will never perform well in Ku or Ka ...
but C and L are much more forgiving of dish surface inaccuracies ...so worth giving it a go ..
The dish is a maxx brand ...
So obviously I'm going to need some measurements ..
I figured an angled L shaped ..manufactured in 30mm x 15mm alluminium box section would suffice ..
If anyone has the same dish ...I'd appreciate measurements of the down section from the rear spider to the angled section ...and then the length of the section sticking out which carries the lnb ..
Finally the angle of this L if possible ...?
If not then the measurements of the arm of a TD110 ...would probably be close enough ..since it is a similar sized dish ..
Yes I have one of these myself ..but it is up at House Apex Height so dont wat to go there unless I have to ..
Someone who has one at a more accessible height might be able to help ?
here is a basic drawing of what I need..
This dish is never going to perform as it should ..but even with the missing parts and imperfections should prove useful for my experiments ..
