Multi-feed Dish Configuration

Not for the faint of heart, but certainly for the enthusiastic and adventurous, is this multi-feed dish configuration. Taking advantage of a fixed dish set-up, this configuration allows reception across at least a 35° azimuth arc in a typical US lower 48 state location.

This 180cm (6') Offset Ku-band Antenna with multi-feed:

Provides a huge amount of signal when compared to typical consumer installation
Extra signal results in minimal weather-related outages common on smaller antennas

This antenna is installed at Skyvision in Fergus Falls, MN, receiving 12 Ku-band satellites from 107.3° W to 79.0° W including:

107.3 Anik F1R
103.0 AMC-1
101.0 AMC-2 & 4
99.0 Galaxy 16
97.0 Galaxy 19
95.0 Galaxy 3C
93.0 Galaxy 25
91.0 Galaxy 17
89.0 Galaxy 28
87.0 AMC-3
83.0 AMC-9

Two of these antennas are capable of covering the 129° W to 72.0° W orbital positions from most US locations.
