Andrew is the same way, not sure about RFS.
Arkivator/LEAX is pretty cool about it… at least the last time I tried. No clue on Tongyu… have not had to cross that bridge but knowing them they would be cool with it as long as there was no real technical reason (some vendors are good at coming up with very well reasoned technical reasons that don’t make a lick of difference in the real world).

Yeah, it is Radiowaves. hopefully they will "fix" the issue since they were the ones that shipped directly to us.

But not totally sure if, at infinity, different focal length parabola are scale models of others. That may take some thinking. Is a parabola a self scaling curve?

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?
