[QUOTE="archive10, post: 935956"] On different note, something else I have been wondering: Why do you think that that is a PF reflector? I'm reasonably certain that it is a Prodelin 198x cm offset antenna. Used in different configurations for both Ku and Ka in professional installations. But I couldn't find any drawings on the web to confirm if this might be the case. Then purely by coincidence, I passed by a super-market in France yesterday, and immediately reckognised one that looked like the one you have. I only had my phone with me, so no high-res close-ups, but I snapped a couple of pics. As you can see from the dirt on the de-icing equipment, the ribbing in the back is extremely similar to yours. It should also be apparent that the feed-arm configuration is off-set. I noted in your Playground thread that you measured it at 978 x 978 mm. Why they would make a round offset-reflector, I am not sure. (But they have no references to PF reflector other than 2.4 meter ones.) According to Prodelin web-site, it is a 0.8 f/D reflector. You may want to reconsider the feed-arm design to get more mileage from the dish... [/QUOTE]
