Hi
I am in the Caribbean (St. Vincent and the Grenadines) and I am in the process of purchasing a 240cm Prime Focus dish to get the C-band and Ku-band on AMC4. The EIRP for AMC4 is 34dB and I want to find out if this 240cm Prime focus solid dish will be good enough to get a good signal from AMC4 C band. I can get the Ku band even with a 120cm offset antenna with signal of 78% and quality from 45 ~ 75% depending on condition.
The spec on the 240cm is as follows:
Specifications : 240cm / 8 feet: Ref# PD240S
Dish Type Six-Panel Reflector Optics Prime Focus
Aperture Efficiency ±3 >70%
GAIN@12.5 GHz Ku-Band: 48.6 dB
GAIN@4 GHz C-Band 38.7 dB
Focal Length 116 cm
F/D Ratio 0.48
Mount Type: Polar Mount
Azimuth Alignment 360°
Elevation Alignment 0° ~90°
Pole/Mast Diameter 89 mm
Operating Temperature -40°C ~ +60°C
Operation Wind 90 km/H
Survival Wind 180 km/H
