Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The lmr-400 coax is big and heavy but that's not a problem. An antenna aiming program, again, on the internet is very helpful in aiming the antenna. Add a low noise amplifier (lna) just at the end of the feed of the parabolic antenna.

It comes in pieces which overlap and bolt together. The one thing is i wish instructions for assembling the dish were included. It took some guess work to assemble the dish in a semi-proper way.
