In my area most pizza dishes are the smaller ones. With all that blah blah

Those are probably AK/HI dishes. The smaller ones do not work well outside CONUS.

They are used a lot on master antennas here in the Northwest. Places like hospitals, MDUs, assisted living centers. Often installed with RG11 cable - with long cable runs to the head-end electronics room which is often several hundred feet away.

Lots of great deals on the Ku dishes...

The 1.2Ms went for a little over a buck each and the 1Ms went in the $2 range!

 

[Dee_Ann]

$1015? If I lived within 300 miles of that place I would have found the money and means to have purchased and remove that dish.

I want one of those giant curved dishes that picks up everything up there with one single, huge dish. To heck with motors!

 

[Dishman Dan]

$1015?...

Oh yeah! Plus 13% commission!
