[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1041643, member: 178786"] The Fortec Star dishes are certainly not baco foil dishes. Have you actually seen one close up and examined it? The paintwork might not be the best finish, however, it can be quicky repainted with a decent outdoor paint using a roller and the nuts/bolts/fittings can be replaced with stainless steel. A simple bit of preparation before installation can enhance the longeivity of the dish considerably. I have seen close up the 2.4m Fortec Star that "s-band" installed on a mobile pallet. It's not a light flimsy dish and the reflector itself performs well on C Band. There is absolutely no need to reinforce the back with fibreglass matt and resin. For a newbie wishing to check out the world of C Band I dont think they can go far wrong with a Fortec Star as an introductory dish. The equivalent size Elite dish would tug at least two bags of sand from the wallet. A Fortec Star costs less than a tenth of that and will probably capture 85% or more of the channels on C Band available to the Elite dish. [/QUOTE]
