If I'm remembering right how those dishes are made, I think you could (with SAF, anyway), but I'm not sure it's something you would want to be doing on a tower...

I'd guess different but just ask SAF :) Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Dec 5, 2014 11:09 AM, "Sam Lambie via Af" <af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com>> wrote: I was shipped the wrong antennas (2 foot) for an 18ghz link, I didn't notice that it was an 11 ghz antenna set until I tried to get the radios to link up. Best I could get was -65. It drove me crazy trying to see if I was on a side lobe for half an hour until it got dark and I gave up. Right before I left, I glanced at the label and saw that the antenna was for an 11 ghz link. So the question is, are the parabolics on the antenna the same and the feed horn different? Can it be swapped out to get me the -38 that I want, or are we going to have to uninstall the whole shebang?
