    Get more info, Two threads I find suggests there may be different sizes. The first is a 74e http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air...-pick-not.html the second is a 84e. http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air...-dish-mod.html I have an 84e on AMC21 doing a fine job. Either of these models will work*, don't know what they are listing.(??)
    * what works for one, is not a guarantee it will work for others. (Montana PBS on AMC21 is a good example of this)

    the 84e is the bigger P* dish?
    If so I have one and LOVE it!. The LNB keeps going and going and going. I would buy another 5 if I could find them local and cheap.
    Thanks for the info.
    I send email and awaiting more info from the owner.

    Yeah, since I put the correct feed horn on mine, it's an excellent performer. And yes, it's a P*.
