1.2m Digiwave dish

[Kraven]

Got an opportunity to get a 1.2m Digiwave fish for 80$.
Wondering if its a good dish or a lemon.

Anyone w/ experience?

Cheers, J

If it is the Azureshine produced version, it is a very good dish. They have had several manufacturers of their dishes.

All I can tell is its a DWD120T model. 80$ shipped isnt bad I suppose. Looking at the picture, am wondering if I can install a motor on it.

Not an Azureshine. Never seen that mount before. Quite different.

Looks like it could be a polar mount(?)
Same picture @ http://www.homevisiontech.com/digiwave-1-2-meter-offset-satellite-dish.html - description says Az/El, darn.
If ya do get it, a review??

Nice looking dish. Someone should put out a calendar with a picture of different dish for every month, sort of what CQ used to do, they had old classic ham radios in calendar form. Looks like a heavy duty stationary mount though.

How does 93cm x 85cm = 1.2m? Seems like a skinny 90cm according to my calculations...

Or is it 52" x 48"? Typical of Digiwave descriptions.

Specs or the product model is wrong???

I pulled the trigger on it. Figured for 90$ delivered I couldnt go wrong. Worse case if I cant put a motor on it, I'll use it for 103W and that funky skew...

 

[Titanium]

So is it a 90cm or 1.2M? Looks like a Jonsa butterfly bracket design, but never seen that AZ (post) cup mount before. Let us know what the reflector thickness is.

FYI, that funky skew on 103w Ku goes away in about 8/10 days! Then what?

Then I have a 1.2 to aim elsewhere. (If the 30 inch is 'strong' enough for COZI) I suppose I should test

Should be getting the dish this week... for 94$ Canadian (including taxes and shipping), as long as it doesnt come in all bent am not complaining since most places charge 100$ just to ship something this size.... Thanks Amazon!

Next step is to get a titanium C-band LNB, some Advil, case of beer and a lot of spare time.

I know... hence the funny face at the end of my post.

You are going to have fun with your micro bud setup then you are going to get greedy then wanted a 1.2 Meter dish. We could be called suds to go along buds small ugly dishes.

Good info, did not know Amazon sells larger Ku dishes.

I grabbed the last 1... am shocked Amazon Prime covered the shipping.
Some dishes though are overpriced by 5x...

Uh... it is a 1.2m dish

Then you need to get a 6 footer or 5 footer at least.

Anyone every deal w/ Ceva Logistics? Apparently the dish has been in their warehouse since 2am Thursday in Montreal. Am not optimistic its getting delivered today....
Also, am surprised the package is listed at 120lbs.
