    Great price on this dish, Robby! I was going to jump on the 8 footer, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it by myself.



    Cj9788, this dish would be the same as the 6 footer as far as receiving Dish on 119w, but with better gain since it is larger... It is prime focus, meaning you would have to use a prime focus feedhorn and separate flanged DP LNB from a Superdish for it to work properly. It's really not that big of a problem, though, as the flanged DP Superdish LNBs are very common (I must have at least a half dozen of them). The prime focus feedhorn (Invacom ADF-120) should be available somewhere. Then get the LNB collar, and you're good to go ...

    Yes. It does. Check out the pictures below for a better view. The pictures below is of a 1.8m ground mount model WS1870. The WS24095 is basically the same thing but larger, thicker, and heavier.

    how does one point this dish, does it move or must you turn it, check elevation, and also make sure its level?
    You have to turn the whole base when adjusting for Azimuth. For elevation, there is a knob that you use to raise or lower the elevation of the reflector. See below for pictures.

    Hmmm....
    Anyone tried mounting one of these on an existing polar mount?
    Still have my destroyed 10' mount sitting idle...
    I see it is a 6 panel, which may make it difficult since the seams won't line up with the existing brackets... if it was 8 panel I would think it would be ez...

    Not a stupid question, and if I were you, I would go ahead and try this dish or the 6 footer... However, I would use the separate LNB and prime focus feedhorn discussed before. You will probably be disappointed with the performance if you don't.

    It would be pretty straight forward to fabricate some brackets to attach the upper ring to an existing polar mount. I was kicking that idea around in my head. It would make a low cost solution to replace a damaged dish.

    I definitely concur! For my situation, it's getting 2 more feet of diameter for less than it would have cost me to get a 6' dish plus have it shipped to me. It should also be close to 2 deg c-band compliant, IIRC.

    I just hope this dish isn't prone to damage in shipping.

    I'll have to do some windloading calculations to see if my platform can support it and if it looks good, I'll pull the trigger on this deal.

    Does anyone know the ring diameter of the ground mount? I want to make sure my platform is wide enough to hold the whole ring. I don't see the ring diameter listed in the specs.

    Thanks.
