An update to this dish. Last summer 2016, i scored an old throw-a-way 12' dish and mount. Dish was junk, but mount was awesome. I took out the destroyed feeble tek2000 mount, and Frankenstein'd in the new mount. I then put everything back together. It worked ok for winter of 2016 but the dish performed horribly on the weaker signals.. I had some warped / bent panels from when the dish crashed and burned on the old mount. Since the new mount survived without incident through the Winter, I thought id see if i could get 2 replacement panels from Tek2000.
I ordered the new panels from Tek2000. It took 3 months to get, and i got them yesterday. I am VERY HAPPY to report the panels came in pretty much perfect condition. I spent all day taking down the old panels, and putting up the new panels. I am happy to report that the dish is in top notch condition once again and i got a wonderful 3db increase in signal replacing the warped panels with new ones.
I can finally say for the first time, i am HAPPY with my 12' dish!
