Oh, and b.t.w., these 18 inchers, work at around 18 GHz , some 11-13
times the frequencies you wish to operate at- nearest band to it is 22
GHz band, but doubtful you could retune it to work! Jim

Short , simple answer : FORGET IT ! TVRO dish, the 6-8 foot variety,
sort of work, at 1296 (13 centimeters), but even they not much good
below that frequency. Ill leave it to your immagination just how much
LOSS one of those 18 inch (foot and 1/2) dishes would have at 432 !! Jim

Hi Group,

Can anyone tell me what gain I could expect on 70cm and 905MHz and higher
amateur bands using a 19 inch direct TV ant disk?

Is the LNA in the dish convertable to something close to any amateur
bands?

Tnx de KJ4UO
