Does this have a polar mount ? Odrok 1.8M solid

[darkage]

Anyone know if this particular dish comes with a polar mount for sure? and if it can be motorised?



I'll give the store a ring after they wake up etc..

I suspect not, but contacting the vendor is the only way to make sure, as the description mentions only an elevation adjustment.

Yeah only mentions 'Elevation Alignment: 0-90' in the specs but then goes on to say same product number = 'For a movable polar mount 1.8M please refer to stock no 210002'

The description says:

"This 180cm Solid C/Ku Band dish is a fixed mount arraignment.
For a movable polar mount 1.8M please refer to stock no 210002"

So it's not a polar mount, but.... the stock number quoted for the movable polar mount dish, is identical to the fixed dish stock number.

Best to ask them directly as the website info is incorrect. (including spelling)

Called them..

Basically they come in two types fixed & polar... Thats why the confusion same product two flavours..

All polar mount ones are out of stock except for fixed...

d'oh! guess Im forced to do mesh 2.4m now.. was after fixed with smaller footprint.. oh well.

Why are you looking at a WA supplier anyhow... the freight cost would be a fair bit.

Satplus in Edithvale had polar-mount 1.8m solid dishes, but I don't see them on their website ATM... give Philip a call and ask him. 9772 8318

Well I still have some equipment to buy and shopping around on the net if that 1.8m solid from sciteq was available in polar mount then it would have been cheaper to ship from WA with other parts compared to a few of the prices I've seen online here locally.

Prices really vary alot with satellite equipment from shop to shop.. some places charge alot some are more reasonable.. Best to shop around.

Actually for my radio controlled helicopter.. Professional expensive range (Align) I actually got a better deal shipping the computerised transmitter from WA than any of the hobby shops locally.. Think I saved about $130 with that deal.. I always factor in shipping when ever I purchase and weigh up warrenty return thoughts as well.
