Depends on the manufacturer of the dish. Parabolic curves are all the same. Just zoomed in or out on the curve. They all use a different part of the curve. And they all have different focal points.

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? Sam -- -- Sam Lambie Taosnet Wireless Tech. 575-758-7598 Office www.Taosnet.com
