Hi Folks
In VK we have Satking promax (known as Selfsat in UK), caravaners (grey nomads) use them for outback TV
They are a horn array rather than a patch style antenna, a bit thicker, made from metalised plastic
I’ve removed a couple from Caravans that have been broken, but the panel intact
It turns out the panels are very wide band and lend themselves to 3cm experimentation
Encouraged by the Squarial experimentation, I popped an modified Avenger LNB on and it worked
Our LNBs are 11.7-12.75ghz, not as 3cm friendly as Dual Band European LNBs
Not the gain of a dish but wider beamwidth, also the AZ/EL doesn’t quite go to the horizon
No real noticeable gain difference from Ku to 3cm from the panel itself, which is around 600 x600mm
Cheers Roger VK5YYY
