Default DirecTV disk on 2.4 GHz



Hi Group,

Over the last few years, I have picked up several of the DirectTV disk
which are for 10GHz and most all have a diameter of about 15 to 20
inches.

If I operate a 15 inch disk on 2.4GHz, what gain would I expect?
And, how would this compare to a 20 inch disk?


I am looking forward to your comments!

I did not run the numbers, but my concern would be properly illuminating
the surface. Fortunately, the dish is offset fed so feed blockage will not
be a concern.. Go to the W1GHZ site to see appropriate high F/D feeds to
illuminate this surface.
