1.8m Folding Fabric Dish
Folding Fabric Dish
The folding fabric dish is a lightweight parabolic dish that can be used for ham radio or radio astronomy. The dish uses spaceage RF reflective fabric and 16 carefully stressed fiberglass ribs. This dish is available as a 1m (FD3) , 1.8m (FD6) and 2.4m (FD8) version. Feeds for 1296 MHz and 1420 MHz are available. The is folding fabric dish has good performance to 2.5 GHz.

Dual Linear Polarization
A dual linear polarization patch feed is available for use with the folding fabric dish. The feed is supported on a strong fiberglass monopole support and is detachable. The patch feed attaches to it's next support next with a simple twist and click. Add a hybrid combiner to this feed and generate high quality Circular Polarization signals. Each feed has a VSWR better than 1.25:1
SDD3 SLEW DRIVE
Dual Axis Slew Drive
The SDD3 Dual Axis Slew Drive was designed for moving large Yagi and Dish antennas with 0.1 deg. resolution. You can reliably track the moon, sun, stars and LEO satellites. Powerful DC motors are geared down 570:1 to provide lots of antenna moving power.
3.5" Pole Mount
Pole Mount
This heavy duty pole mount is powder-coated steel. Fits on a 3.5" (or smaller) pole and clamps with M10 steel bolts. The adjustable top plate has pre-drilled holes to hold the SDD3 slew drive. This pole mount can also be used to hold a telescope or other sky-looking devices.
