Most likely (as usually, seller likes to show more than he has) it is not 1,4m but only 1.2m antenna. But, at the same time it seems to be good quality 1,2m dish and it is much better than any of nowadays's "made in PRC" available products. Good dish.

1.4 meter SMW OA-1400 with polar mount. (Unfortunately not your 1200, Llew :cool:

Intersting 0.45 f/D, making it a "deep dish", almost bordering on PF, while still being an offset design.
Too far away for me, plus the specs only claim slightly more gain as a CM120.

I have this antenna for many years (22 years...) and works well, you can pickup satellites from 47.5°W to 76.5°East with the original polarmount.

So, You have it 1,4m or 1,2m? Just kidding :rolleyes:

1.40m X 1.20m (approx) but more efficient than a 1.20m for sure.
very good fiber glass quality .



Edit: I will measure the antenna , later tomorrow to confirm the dimensions.

That is what I am speaking about! Antenna is 1,2m, but sellers (for well known reasons) present it as antenna boggier size one. So, antenna is only (which is quiet OK) 1,2 m!

Well, no, if you look carefully at the pics at the site, the seller posted the specs (as I have also found elsewhere on the net).
It is 1500x1420 mm size, so definitely a 1.4 meter dish...
 
I will check the dimensions, later tomorrow to confirm if 1.4x1.5 or 1.4x1.2m

To be continued...

May be, may be, but problem is that I am not looking carefully anywhere.... :( I will be happy to eat my tie if this antenna really has 1,4m aperture. :rolleyes:
 
@skomedal ? Friend of mine, I like you showed up again (I have suspicion you follow me, but that, probably just a suspicion :D) ! Thanks. Should I eat my tie now?! Should I use this Czech language site as a reference? Do you have such antenna at your disposal and can prove it's size? Too many questions! Even if this antenna's aperture is 1420mm, do you argue statement that sellers are not always honest to us?
 
Rimants , be carefull eating your tie , there could be a stickpin to it , and dont forget to drink enough .
 
@Trust1 ! I am always carefully eating and drinking :rolleyes: (perhaps drinking too much), but I always try to keep common sense to not speak too much stupid things. I do not knot how good I am in this. :eek: Probably not so good :oops: as others are pretend to be much smarter :D
 
Ok, the real size measured is 1.50 m X 1.44 m.
St1 was right and I was wrong.
 
Feedsat ,,do you have a Tie ?
 
So, I was also wrong! But now I am little bit puzzled- according to datasheet dish has 1420mm horizontal axis, but measured 1440mm!
2Feedsat_DXer: Can you measure depths of the antenna at the very middle of it (preferably with the precision up to 0,1mm)?
