    where to get 1 metre dish to suit stab motor?

    hi all I currently have 80cm perforated dish used with stab moter and ground mounted on a scaffold pole.

    the dish is set up correctly, but will not give me a good enough signal for 16e.

    so I would like a bigger dish say 1 metre, but preferably lightweight the ones I have googled seem to be solid and would be too heavy for my stab moter, or is there a fibreglass option.

    doesn't look like goldwafers sell dishes?

    thank you

    gibertini OP100L and a inverto black ultra lnbf will give you a cracking system for about £90... the triax td110 is more popular and performs roughly the same but is pressed steel and slightly heavier. regards mdt

    I have the triax TD110 and can confim its a solid dish and heavy , mine is on a dark motor but used to be on a stab until the gearing wore out causing too much play on that stab , no problems on my dark motor though

    you will have to use google for suppliers, unless somebody sends you a pm

    thanks all for info gilbertini is about £99+lnb triax app £60+lnb I can see the gilbertini would be lighter than triax.

    I have found a perforated dish 1.1 that's cheap at (system s*t dir*ct) that might be ok I will contact retailer for more info.

    echelon my stab moter must be about 13 years old still working , but is there a link to the dark moter in case I go for a heavier dish or need to replace stab?

    thank you all

    also worth considering the Orbital 1m Aluminium version which is very light and should last years and is far cheaper than the Gilbertini.

    thanks all for info, I could not locate a new orbital alu dish, but found a gillbertini 1 metre in Germany £70 with postage new dish from manufacturer (just hope its complete with all bracketry etc) have ordered a inverto black ultra lnb (dual feed)

    decided to go with a known brand of dish rather than than something else.

    thanks for moter info at gw.

    wont get dish etc till January will post again when set up and running.
