Mounting post greater than 2"?

[TD2]

I'm having my new 5 LNB dish installed March 1. I know a 2" OD is required, however, my post is 2 1/4" so I was hoping the new dish will have a compression clamp that mounts it to the mast capable of accomodating the larger post. Since so many here have the H20 someone must have run into the same problem or at least knows if this is possible. My H20 is up and running with no problems. (yet)
Thanks for any insight.

Nope!

The AT-9 requires a 2" or 50 mm pole.

2-1/4 is not a standard tubing or pipe size. Yours is more likely 2-3/8." The mast clamp won't open enough to fit.

Thanks! I've got three days to remedy the problem. I suppose the mast that comes with the dish could be U-bolted to the post. (?)

My AT-9 is U bolted to my mast. Just make sure you have a U bolt big enough to do the job, you will need 2.
