Good evening all, within the next couple of weeks I'm going to be installing a minidish on the house. To get clear line of site to 28.2E I'm going to have to mount it on a pole on the wall to rise above the bottom of the roof.
I know I'm going to need some T&K brackets and I've gone for a 5ft, 1.5 inch diameter pole. Is that diameter ok?
What I'm confused about is fitting the minidish to the pole. I've read that not all minidishes can be pole mounted and that some will only mount on a 1.25 inch pole. So, can anyone help ease my confusion. Can all minidishes be pole mounted, or is it the case that some cannot? I was going to pop in to Maplin's next week to pick up a dish but don't want to get the wrong one. Also, what will I need to mount the dish to a pole. A couple of U bolts?
Cheers,
John
