[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 599891, member: 175144"] The design of the 1251 does not lend itself well to Ku band, once it has been sitting in the field for a few years. The weight of the reflector parts supported only in the vertical plane by metal, means the wind forces and temperature changes over five years have an impact on the reflector surface integrity. Additionally the weight of anything heavy on the front (a C band feed and amplifier ?) is supported by the support arms only when set up in the non-inverted way , and this pulls on the reflector sides, causing either distortion, and/or damage to the reflector at the bolt points.
