I have an M2 23cm35 at 10 ft. If I were to put up a 7 1/2 ft TVRO dish with a patch feed for 1.2 ghz would I get any more gain or is that a waste of time? Thanks for any info. George
Hello George, just some rough numbers, M2 18db TVRO dish around 26db
Yes I would say that's a pretty worthwhile gain if you can swing that big of a dish and point it correctly, the -3db beamwidth should be around 7 deg.
