[QUOTE="archive10, post: 830828"] www.holkirk.com/Quick-Deploy-Ka-Band-Flyaway-Antennas--TP2-120.htm I buy the strength argument, as these are both fly-away systems that requires extra rigidity with as little thickness as possible, making them better for flat-pack than an SMC dish (that has the ribs in the back providing rigidity). (Wouldn't this make them the ideal IKEA dish? Now there's a prediction for you...) I suspect the prodelin/CM/Visiosat still use the almost oval shape for the fixed and non-gregorian installations as this still give better signal compared to the amount of surface area you have in the wind. Or maybe there's a niche market there... dishes in any shape you want (as long as it as an illuminable inner oval). Apple-dishes that cost 15% more than others, bat-dishes, you name it. (and erhm... aren't we supposed to not post external live links on the site?) [/QUOTE]
