Dee_Ann... before I go ahead and take hi-res pics, here are a few low-res ones of what I think is just another ku-band feed. If you want me to still measure I will of course go ahead and do so, just let me know. Also, could you do me a favor and measure the lnb raincover you got with the kit you...

Oh, by the way... my father picked up he bracket and feed today. He told me that there might be a chance that the guy he got it from has another one. So if this is what you are looking for, I could ask him, if you want me to.

Gerne, kein Problem ;-)

Sure can do. But probably not before tomorrow afternoon (German time). I will put the pictures on box or dropbox or something like that and send you a link.

I was wrong, the guy I got the dish from actually had another feed holder and feed. I will try it later today or tomorrow.

I am not totally sure, but it looks like they might have replacement feed support arms for your (our) dish (scroll down to the end of page): http://www.satellitedish.com/page-31.htm

Thanks dee_ann! I already contacted the vendor. He has another kit, unfortunately he is trying to sell it bundled with a 1.2m dish. ;-) If the auction ends without a bid, he might sell it to me separately. Did you have less performance with your self made holder?

He will check and see if he still has it tomorrow (but I doubt it). I live about 15 min. north of Erlangen (halfway...

Thanks, Titanium! Since I am going to go for the ku band (there is basically nothing interesting in C-Band here in Germany) I will probably have to get something like that: https://www.sateng.com/satellite/0800-2782/ It is a bit pricy and I a also a little confused because Chris from Sateng just...

But I also only have a PFA feedhorn and I am not sure, if I won't cost me a lot of signal strength

Well, thank you! I had a feeling that this was the case. You wouldn't know a place (online?) where I could order a right holder, would you?

Thank you. of course, I can...

Hi all, my name is Alex, I'm from Germany and I am trying to rebuild a Prodelin (badged as an Echostar) 1.8m dish as well. I have almost everything I need, except the feed bracket and clamp and the feed horn itself. The guy I got he dish from tells me I got everything he had for the dish but I...
