Big thumbs up from me on Skyvision. I have ordered a lot from them in my cband days. And Del the president of Skyvision is good people.

I'm sure the Skyvision dish is a Orbitron clone. Good dish with excellent wind survivability. I've got a 7' model that has 14 seasons under it's belt with only 5 panels replaced due to a tennisball sized hail in 2000.

Unless they still have old stock from Orbitron, chances are it's the KTI-designed CKD-8.5, which SAMI inherited from KTI before they went out of business.
It's pretty good for C-band, but I would not expect miracles on Ku-band, when compared to solid reflectors.
