Triax TDS 88cm - steel or aluminium for diseqc motor?

[kitoog]

buying parts for a friend to set up a motorised system. going to use a moteck sg2100a and wondering is there much weight difference between the steel and aluminium triax tds 88cm dishes and would the steel dish be ok with the motor,. the aluminium version is about 55 euro while steel one is 30 euro. cheers

The 88cm version is fine on the Moteck, there is a picture of one in a recent thread. http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/536645-post51.html

thats good to hear, cheers. by the way what do you think of the dish. i was going to use my old lidl 80cm dish which served me fine for a few years ,but hoping gain might me a bit better with slightly bigger dish.

Yes it will, the Triax 88cm is not bad and almost certainly better than the lidl 80cm.
