Help Required Looking for data sheet of Kathrein (satAn) 180cm prime focus dish

[BM300]

Hello friends,
Can someone help please with a data sheet of Kathrein (SatAn) 180cm prime focus dish?
Thanks.

Nice dish. Made of aluminum. Original polar-mount is one of the best polar-mounts ever made. The rest you can measure.

Add: I have small sister of it (only 120cm)

I thought Kathrein made a 1.2 and 2.2/2.3 in prime focus, the 1.8 offered was an offset design (CAS 180).

The 1.8 prime focus may have been a Precision reflector bolted onto their excellent 2.2 polarmount which was on par with the IRTE design of the same era.

I do not know about 1,8m, but, hoping it is same (just little bit bigger) I could provide some pictures of 1,2m polar-mount.

Found some pictures of SatAn 120. There were also actuator with optical sensor well attached. One U-bolt was missing, so I made it out ot threaded rod. Great antenna, great mount.

Az/El mount, not bad, but it will take time to go from sat to sat.

It is used as a fixed dish pointing at 16East

Thanks martin-f,
Any technical information please as I have miplaced the dish specs.

If my calculation is right,
Dish depth = 27 cm
Diameter = 180cm
F= 75 cm?
F/D= 0.42

Just wanted to confirm my finding.

Rimants, will be able to help you, I did read you had to be particular with the feed horn used with this dish.

Theirs a video of this dish here, I think the mount that Rimants is referring too can be seen about 5.30 mins in.
