Jay,
Find a distributor who sells supplies for Dish Network installs. Ask
about masts for the 1000.4 dish. They have one that's the normal size
you're used to but made with heavier gauge steel. They also have one
with struts like you're talking about. The one with struts is the older
version....supposedly the one with heavier steel is equal strength.
1000.4 dishes are about the same size as the beehive SL....and slightly
bigger than KP Performance.
That's my 2c
As we begin deploying 2.4 ePMP it looks like we will need to use
dishes on a number of customers. Since I don't think the basic mounts
that we've used for yagis will hold up to the wind load we'll need to
go with heavier duty mounts with the brace arms. Does anyone have
vendor or product recommendation for mounting brackets with brace
arms? Best practice recommendations?
