Hi guys
I have been thinking about upgrading my dish, I presently have a 1m orbital steel dish with an inverto black line ultra Lnb on a diseq motor. To be honest I am quite pleased with this as I get pretty good reception on 26E, mbc, dubai one etc (in all but torental downpours) and 7W fox series (on clear evenings).
Now then, I have been looking at the 1.2 gibertini dish but trying it on the diseq motor first (before spending more money on mount, vbox and motor) The dish is ground mounted and in a very, very sheltered location in the corner of a sunken garden with a 10ft wall directly behind running West to East and adjacent to a 10ft wall running North to South. (I was trying to upload a pic but couldn't find any hosting)
The gibertini is quite a bit bigger than the orbital but 3kgs lighter, the thing I am not sure about is the mounting as the output shaft of the motor is 50mm and the range of pole for the gibby starts at 55mm, I think I have read someone tried it and it would not fit on the motor.
So does anyone here use a 1.2 gibertini and what do you think of it, build quality etc, would it be much of an upgrade over a 1m orbital dish. The 1.2 has a 1.5 dB higher gain do you think this be much of a real world improvment? if it would fit/work on the diseq I think I may try it but with the cost of polar mount, vbox and motor it would become too expensive.
I mostly scan for feeds and search for those weak sats rather than watch TV
Your thoughts welcome.
