Found FC-130 on front doorstep

[BubahJim]

The great stork has dropped a Fortec FC-130 on my front doorstep this evening. Wow its big! Those of you thinking about ordering this "its bigger than you think." Guys are you sure the trusty Moteck SG 2100 will handle this? Second question. Any suggestions on what satellite to point this? Its a little bigger than the Winegard 2176. Well, back to the parts bag and picture. The directions is only a diagram sketch. Thanks for now.

I don't see it mentioned in the below specs....

But I am sure I read somewhere that it will work on (1.2m MAX.) dish up to 24 lb. in weight.

So a smaller dish (less wind resistance) could be slightly heavier and work perfectly.

There is also a 50mm mounting tube available for the SG2100

Putting it together.

Thanks Pete. Working on putting it together. Almost done. Ordered 120 cm and this is what I got. Directions sheet says FC-130 could be 120 anyway havent measured it. Only grip I have is the feedhorn (LNB) support rods hex-head cap screws shafts a bit short. A little hard to get on side of dish. Everything else very nice.
