Motor for 1.5 meter KU/C Band Dish

[onceydoce]

Since this is my first post in this form.I would like to say hello to everyone.
I am playing with the thought to buy a FORTEC STAR 150cm Offset Dish Antenna for KU & C band usage.
Which motor would i use with this dish size.
The sg2100 & Stab 120 HH are only rated to 17kg max load or 120cm.
Or should i just stick with a 1.2m Fortec & a Stab 120HH?

Thanks for the help!

welcome:

The DG380 motor is good to 31 lbs. I believe it's faster than the STAB, and cheaper, too.

I don't know of anyone selling the 1.5 meter Fortec in the USA. -
But 1.2m dishes are readily available from SatelliteAV (GeoSatPro), Sadoun (Fortec), and WSI/Galaxy Marketing (new model).

edit:
Considering the cost of shipping a 1.2m dish, have you considered the 1.8m (six foot) prime focus Fortec?
Equipped with a dual-band LNBF, it's a pretty good combo.

Anole,
you think a 1.2 meter would be large enough for the C-Band?

I was busy editing my post above, and didn't see your question 'till just now.
Please re-read it for more info, and links.

I'm not really a supporter of the mini-BUDs.
However, we have a lot of fellows who've found them desirable, and functional.
The guys with 1.2's seem to be pretty happy.
Here's one thread by Walrus, as an example.

Anole,
thanks for pointing me into the right direction.
