I work for a television station, and we have plenty of old dishes and parts laying around. I plan on taking an old 1.8m Patriot Offset dish home this weekend (with a non-penatrating roof mount) to use for IA6 only, C-Band.
My problem is, the dish was used for Ku, and when I took the Ku LNBF off, I noticed "harness" for holding the LNBF is pretty small. It's way to small to hold a C-Band feedhorn (due to the C-Band feedhorn diameter).
I've searched the internet trying to find an adapter of some sort, but no luck. This is a pretty old dish, with an old-school "2-screw clamp" to hold the LNBF, not the normal rectangular slotted-style.
Has anyone had any success mounting a C-Band feedhorn to one of these older offset feed arms?
Thanks in advance.
