Hello all, I am trying to find the actual model number for my newly aquired channel master dish :) Can anyone help ? Here are the specs :

about 3.0m wide (I measure it at about 3,30m actual surface, a bit more if I include the rim in the measurement), fiberglass, 4 pieces, four aluminium lnb legs, motorized and looks very much like Icemans :

At the back on one of the petals there is a small aluminium like sticker with the number 6012 and I'm wondering is this the model ?? :

Mystery solved! I got my hands on the original "Channel Master Instruction and Assembly Manual" that came with the dish. According to the manual, the dish is "MODEL 6346 10' SMC ANTENNA".

The little sticker I mentioned previously is also mentioned in the manual ! It is apparently the "Serial No Label" and that is placed on "Petal #1" at the factory. Very detailed assembly instructions.

Basic Specs for model 6346
- diameter 3.05 ( I must measure again ! )
- f/d .4
- gain 40.1 ( I am assuming this refers to C-Band gain)
- focal length 48.0"
