UPDATE:
The
120cm arrived yesterday and without any hesitation I started assembly.
I am VERY satisfied with the dish but wanted to point out two things I found while assembling: 1) the U-Clamps are very difficult to get inside the bracket. You have to step on the bracket and pull up with all your strength just to get enough clearance to slip them through.
2) In order to utilize my
SG2100, I had to pound a small tab at the top of the bracket (and essentially mutilate my new dish's bracket) with a hammer to flatten in flush with the pole guide.
Ok, enough complaining. Here are the reasons why this dish ROCKS:
-Without even trying I pulled all the sats I was able to get on my smaller dish EXCEPT with quality levels in the 70's and 80's which I have never seen before. With some tweaks to my true south alignment and elevation I anticpate exceeding these levels.
-I have now located and locked onto SBS6 and AMC6 which was only a dream with my smaller dish. I expect to locate others when I play with it again tonight.
-My analog Ku signals and picture quality was boosted so much it was as if the transmitter was 'over the air' from next door.
So, although I wished for a C-Bander and was complaining at first, everything worked out well and I am a very satisfied Sadoun customer.
I'll eventually get into
C-Band but now at least I have so much more Ku available to keep me busy for a while.
Thanks to everyone for their support.
God Bless
