That is one nice looking dish! I like the reflector construction, which allows for unbolting of the dish reflector without removing the mount from the motor.
I lost track of time, and missed out on the window to order these on sale!
Very informative!Thanks Brian!
Since we were talking about dish calculations and specs, it may also benefit FTA fans to learn, how a typical dish is manufactured. I c/p this from a known dish maker brochure. Hope, this will further your Promo effort:
The Procedure of Dish Manufacture
There are altogether four main steps in the process for the whole satellite dish manufacture.
First is the mechanical machining process. In this process, the raw material for the reflector and its accessories part will be cut, formed with parabolic shape, punched or welded.
A. Cutting Process
1. Within this process, the steel coil is unfolded on an assembly line
2. The rough shape of the satellite dish reflector is then marked by technicians on the reflector mould against the unfolded steel sheet.
3. By using electric shears, technicians cut the rough shape of the reflector from the steel sheet according to the marks carved on the sheet.
4. The cutting machine is used to cut the raw steel pipes or steel belt plate to particular dimensions, which will be used in dish construction.
B. Shaping Process
1. The cut-down rough shaped reflector plate is put into the pressing machine to shape the reflector by a particular mould. The reflector is formed into a parabolic shape. Each time before the technicians put the rough shaped reflector plate into the pressing machine, the surface of the steel plate must be cleaned to avoid dusts forming tiny dents on the formed reflector.
2. The formed reflector is fed into the edge-cutting machine & drilling machine to cut the spare edge of the reflector & drill the reflector holes.
3. A punching machine, bending machine , welding machine, etc. are used to shape the various accessories from the raw materials.
C. PRE-PROCESSING BEFORE POWDER COATING
1. Oil Removal
The oil left on the surface of the work pieces during storage, transportation and processing is removed.
2. Pickling
Any oxide coating like tiny rust stains are removed from the components.
3. Neutralization Treatment
The acid wash residue on the surface of the components (especially the accessories) is removed to avoid any detrimental effect to the surface treatment liquid.
4. Surface Treatment
The main purpose of this procedure is to eliminate the rough surface and to form a uniform crystalline surface which enhances the speed of the phosphorization protective preparation.
5. Phosphorization Protective Preparation
In this process, the surface of the component will be coated with a layer of reactive phosphate which gives components a quality of anti-corrosion resistance.
D. ELECTROSTATIC POLYESTER POWDER COATING
Automatic polyester powder coating line is used for the surface coating. This is out of state automatic powder coating line with multi transportation chain and controls precise coating thickness automatically. The outdoor polyester powder comes from the world famous factories with perfect & reliable performance.
This prototype scalar out performs all competitor's LNBFs using unique designs (not OEM) without using Marketing BS with false Gain / NR factory specs.... 
Not sure if there is a demand or if many KU enthusiasts would interested in a modest 8% BER improvement on the GEOSATpro SL2 LNBF mounted on the GEOSATpro 90cm or 1.2M dishes.
