Hi Keano,

its just a section of a parabola just like any other offset dish. It has a tighter horizontal beamwidth compared to vertical beamwidth which helps reduce interferene with adjacent satellites in the Clarke belt.

Overall gain is determined by the reflector surface area and efficiency as usual. The shape could be handy in some situations.

Cheers.

No more dishes for me m8, I'm doing the opposite now.

Looking at taking a couple down and using one of these multi lnb holders on a small dish with a diseqc switch.

Interesting... and not that far away from me. What's the gain of this dish and what size is it equivalent to?
