I just got a new ckd 8.5 meter mesh dish.How long of a pole should i use and how deep should i cement the pole in the ground?The O.D of the pole will be 3.5"
How tall of a pole should i use?Check out this link: http://www.geo-orbit.org/sizepgs/grndpole.html#anchor72594
3.5" OD can't hold your 8.5m....but it should be fine with 8.5ft...
8.5ft is a good size, you should not have any interference from the unwanted sats.
Have fun tuning the dish.
