Reflector and site configuration
Reflector and mount
Aluminum draw-die-formed panels, contoured radials and galvanized steel parts. Kingpost elevation-over-azimuth mounting; travel ranges are listed below.
Feed options
C/Ku dual-band feed systems and multibeam dish solutions are listed. The PDF also mentions L/X options; their RF values are not provided in the C/Ku table.
Packing
Published shipment: 5 seaworthy cases, 4230KG and 26.21CBM. Confirm the packing for the selected configuration.
Installation and wind
The webpage says assembly needs no crane; confirm the delivery sections and site lifting plan. Normal operating, survival and optional high-wind conditions are kept separate below.
