.95cm Antenna Sources

[kingofku]

It seems that every online vendor of FTA antennas is gone. I did reach Sadoun yesterday, but it sounds like he's downsized substantially.

So, point me in the right direction to a distributor. I've got a customer who has an old Channel Master but it's missing the mounting hardware. I told him it would be easier to get a new antenna then try and source the parts for the antenna.

I'm aware of SatelliteAV, but their shipping costs are ridiculous.

Thanks.

I agree, but a great dish if you can get a deal of some kind. I have four of them. Sometimes they offer a better deal on eBay than direct on their site.

Why do not make mount for CM antenna? It is not so difficult. Or order it in local metal-workshop.

It looks like you can save $30 or so by getting a dish on ebay rather than through their site.

Impakt Satellite had some primestar 84E antennas for sale, maybe they still have some?

The LNBFs sell seperately I think. They are matched for the dish and work very well.

Tried to reply to your email, but your server rejected. Will try again when I am in the office.

Both Rick and Tek2000 sell KU dishes at or about that size. Tek's shipping is a bit more if your in the U.S. as it comes out of Canada but Rick's is out of Wisconsin I think.

Rima I just sent you a PM... about the mount you will need to show or create a how to.

I am not sure I did not show pictures somewhere in the forum, but there we go. Something like this can be made for small CM antennas 0.9m-1m-1.2m. This design also allows to skew whole antenna in case it is tuned to far-East or far-West satellites.
