Used 1.2 m dish. Worth it?

Exactly what Titanium said. I love my GSP 1.2.

Also, if one were going for reliable C-Band reception for a commercial use or some such, yes it would be a fools mission to try 1.2 on C-Band.
...but this is a hobby and the fun part is to see what you can get, especially if you are limited as to the size of the dish you can install! :)

That's exactly right. I'm not allowed to have a large BUD on my property at the present time, so I'm limited in what I can do. Plus I enjoy the fun of experimentation. I'm not trying to build a commercial earth center :)

Want two 1.2M GeosatPro , or create a buddy that lives within driving distance to you that is interested.

You have enough people watching this thread you may find some body else interested in saving over $90.

TWO 48 Inch 120 cm 1.2 M Offset Satellite Dishes with SL1PLL HD LNBF $300.
Looks like the cost could be $227.50 ea shipped. Better check my figures.

Here's the response I received from Satellite AV when I requested to use my own freight:

I sent another email to SatelliteAV and told him what I'm wanting to do. I said I have $300 bucks. I told him I don't need the free Ku LNB but I do need the 65mm clamp. I asked if he could do the whole thing shipped for $300 and he agreed. He said he's going to throw in the free Ku LNB anyway, because he loves great enthusiasts.

So as soon as I get him paid later today, I'm going to order the conical scaler/LNB combo from KE4EST

Let the C-band experimentation begin!

Happy happy! :clapping

Curious, where in CO are you headed? If you'll be on the western slope (Grand Junction area) I have a slimline with pole and some camera lenses free to good home. I can also recommend some good places to stop for local beer, local wine, and chocolate (Russell Stovers factory outlet!)

Denver. Won't be going west of the tunnel since I am shipping the GeoSat pro dish back home, but thanks anyway :)

Fruita's barely a drive at all, but I don't have the balcony space for more dishes. Hank123 has my two old fiberglass dishes. I'm pretty happy with the GeosatPro dish I have until after I move. Eventually the wife and I will have our own place with room for 5 or so dishes (C and Ku). At this point she doesn't care, and I don't bother her about the huge pile of crochet stuff she has.

That's how I got away with all my dishes and such over the years. Let the wife have her hobby stuff, and once in a while buy her a new something "just for her hobby". LOL
