[amsat-bb] Re: Interesting Microwave transceiver and dish

[Edward Cole]

Appears to me to be a 7-1/2 foot dish (obviously KTI) but the feed 
has a either a radome or lens feed.  There is no actuator for 
movement implying it was fixed pointed to a single satellite.  This 
suggests Ku-Band to me.  The Channel Master photo is a puzzle as it 
doesn't seem to fit with the other photos.  The black plastic LNB 
cover is shorter than the usual C-band ones.  I put up probably over 
50 of the 10-foot version of the KTI dish in the C-band era.

Good price for the dish regardless of the feed.  It is a bit small 
for eme, but would be super-good on microwave satellite use (Not 1.2 GHz).
