1.2m Cahors motorised dish.
Cahors 1.2m dish. "Probably the best 1.2m dish in the world" The one piece reflector is
thermoset-molded glass fiber reinforced polyester for strength and rigidity and surface accuracy.
An ultimate dish system for enthusiasts. Gain 42.0 dBi at 11.95Ghz. 3dB beamwidth - 1.6 degrees.
New stainless steel polar mount. The new Mk 6 polar mount has been completely redesigned
compared to earlier versions. This mount is produced by our sister company
www.primesat.eu
for the
Satellite Superstore. It is designed for the 1.2m Cahors dish (dish not included). With this latest
Mk6 version, the mount stands closer to the pole and is a well-balanced assembly. Fine adjustment is easy with a spanner.
Comparing the Mk6 to the previous versions - 1. Better design. 2. Better build quality. 3. All of the parts are machined to
higher tolerances. 4. Now for the first time in stainless steel. 5. All of the bolts are now stainless steel. 6. The elevation
adjuster and the declination adjuster are stainless steel. All of the nuts are brass. Using brass means there is no danger
of "thread locking" which might happen if they were also stainless steel. 7. Fits a 76mm diameter pole.
A genuine SuperJack 18"
actuator is an option. Weight of polar mount 5Kg. Weight of 18-inch actuator 6Kg.
Total weight 11Kg. This polar mount motor unit is designed to clamp onto a 76mm (3-inch) diameter pole.
An ideal ground stand is the Primesat
GS761FW3 stand but see a option below. An ideal wall mount
is the Primesat
WMS45076 mount. 4 core motor
control cable for this motor is available.
V Box option. Using a Diseqc satellite receiver, a
V Box is also needed, or a V Box can just be used as a separate
positioner as it comes with it's own remote control. The V Box in automatic mode converts Diseqc commands to 36 volt
positioning so the satellite receiver's remote is used. It introduces more power to drive heavier duty 36 volt motors.
LNB options below. There are many LNB options. Choose an option.
Wall mount and
ground stand options below. A heavy duty Primesat wall mount or ground stand is also available.
Heavy duty
above the gutter wall mounts can be ordered separately with 2m long, 76mm diameter
(3-inch) poles and
100mm,
300mm,
450mm, and
550mm stand-off distances to clear gutters.
Non-pentrating ground stand. A heavy duty Primesat non-penetrating
ground stand is available separately.

Raven 1.8m motorised dish kit.
This Raven 1.8m dish is probably the best 1.8m dish available anywhere. The one piece reflector is thermoset-molded
glass fiber reinforced polyester for strength and rigidity and surface accuracy. An ultimate dish system for enthusiasts.
Gain is a massive 45.5 dBi (Ku band). Beam width 1.0 degrees, Noise Temp. 31K Cross polarisation 30dB.
Heavy duty Raven 1.8m motorised dish kit including a polar mount which is designed and built by the Satellite Superstore,
heavy duty actuator and optional Raven matched feedhorn with C120 flange LNB. This is a Raven Skyware Global (formerly
Andrews and before that Channel Master) 1.8m dish. Very high gain one piece proven design. The motor unit is a Primesat
CH18MK2 polar mount and SuperJack actuator. The polar mount is dipped galvanised with a steel back plate to fit the
Raven 1.8m dish. All of the bolts and nuts are stainless steel and the elevation adjusters are made of brass. A heavy
duty Superjack 18"
actuator
is included. The complete motor kit is also available separately on our
motors
page.
V Box option. Using a Diseqc satellite receiver, a
V Box is also needed, or a V Box can just be used as a
separate positioner as it comes with it's own remote control. The V Box in automatic mode converts Diseqc
commands to 36 volt positioning and only the satellite receivers remote is used. It also introduces more power to
drive heavier duty 36 volt motors. Spare parts are also available for this dish.
Motor control cable. 4 core motor
control cable is available separately.
LNB options below. There are many LNB options. LNB not included unless an option is chosen. There are 40mm
clamp universal LNB options. If a wideband LNB is to be required, choose the hybrid 40mm LNB as it has universal
outputs as well. If wideband LNB outputs are required they must be 40mm and there are no c120 flange wideband
LNBs available. This is also the case with the fibre headend.
Feedhorn c120 LNB options. When using universal LNBs, the matched feedhorn and c120 flange LNB is best. A
matched feedhorn will maximise signal capture in low signal locations and is available with several c120 flange LNB options

Adjustable feet for motorised use.
This is a worthwhile addition when ordering a 76mm (3-inch) ground stand. Feet are not included as
standard with the stand above. Using the 1.8m stand above, for motorised use, to make the pole plumb, we would
recommend at least 6 feet and preferable 9 although up to 12 can be used. It will therefore be necessary to add
this option more than once. Manufactured by the Satellite Superstore. An exclusive high quality product.
Adjustable feet for motorised use.

Primesat 7680 Shim (spacer).
This shim is designed to convert a 76mm pole to 80mm.
Example of use - the
Primesat motor unit
for the motorised Raven (formally "Andrews" and before that "Channel Master")
1.8m dish is designed for an 80mm pole but will fit on a 76mm pole. It is, however a better fit if the 76mm to 80mm
Primesat shim is used. 80mm poles are not a standard size in the UK and so this shim was developed to make a perfect
fit between the Primesat motor unit and a 76mm (3inch) pole.
2nd Example - the
Primesat motor unit for the
motorised Raven (formally "Andrews" and before that "Channel Master")
1.2m dish is designed for an 80mm pole but will fit on a 76mm pole. It is, however a better fit if the 76mm to 80mm
Primesat shim is used. 80mm poles are not a standard size in the UK and so this shim was developed to make a perfect
fit between the Primesat motor unit and a 76mm (3inch) pole.
Note - we have manufactured ground stands, wall mounts and adapters for satellite dishes including
the Raven / Channel Master 1.8m dish since 1991.

Raven 2.4m motorised dish
This is a Raven, Skyware Global (formerly Andrews and before that Channel Master) 2.4m dish.
Raven / Primesat motorised 2.4m dish kit. CM24PR36I. Heavy duty Raven 2.4m motorised dish kit including Primesat
polar mount, heavy duty actuator and LNB options. Very high gain one piece proven design. The one piece reflector

Technical - Gain 47.6 dBi at 11.95Ghz. 3dB beamwidth - 0.7 degrees. Cross polarisation - 30dB, Collar fits a 100mm pole.
An ultimate dish system for enthusiasts.
The motor unit is a Primesat CH24100
polar mount and 36 inch SuperJack QARL-3636+ heavy duty
actuator
actuator. The polar mount is dipped galvanised with a steel back plate to fit the Raven 2.4m dish. All of the
nuts & bolts are stainless steel and the elevation adjusters are made of brass. A matched Raven feedhorn is
highly recommended for this Raven 2.4m dish and is an option. Using a matched feedhorn with a C120 flange LNB
provides better matching and more good signal (a higher signal to noise ratio) than a standard 40mm clamp LNB.
It is best not to invest in a high quality Raven dish and use a compromise 40mm mass market LNB where the
integrated feedhorn is designed for ANY dish but is not matched.? Taking this 2.4m dish as an example, a
40mm LNB may only illuminate 2.3m of dish area or perhaps 2.5m of dish area (i.e. including noise from round
the edges) but with a matched feedhorn, exactly 2.4m of dish area is illuminated. C120 LNB options below.
V Box option. Using a Diseqc satellite receiver, a
V Box is also needed, or a V Box can just be used as a
separate positioner as it comes with it's own remote control. The V Box in automatic mode converts Diseqc

The differences between prime focus
and offset dishes.
A prime focus dish is shown above.
This type of dish is circular NOT oval. It has 3 feed support arms (some use 4 arms) and the 3 arms
converge in the centre. Each arm is 120 degrees apart. The feedhorn uses concentric scalar rings.
The concentric scalar rings reduce noise and improve signal to noise ratio with prime focus dishes.
An offset dish is oval and is higher than it is wide (some are wider than they are high). They use either
one feed support arm (at the bottom of the dish - see bottom left hand picture) or 3 feed support arms
(again all in the bottom 1/2 of the dish - see bottom right hand picture). They require a feedhorn
that is in the shape of a horn without scalar rings.
Larger, higher quality offset dishes will use three support arms as the extra two side support arms
provide better rigidity when dish sizes exceed 1.0m. The offset dish shown above right is the
excellent high gain
Raven 1.8m dish.
As a general rule the two types of dishes are simply two ways of doing the same job, however, an
the offset dish, if well engineered usually has significantly more gain than the prime focus dish.
It is never really that simple. It is true that petalised offset dishes usually have poor gain but
a one piece well engineered prime focus dish can be better than a poorly engineered offset dish.
As usual you get what you pay for. Cheap prime focus petalised dishes are to be
avoided and we don't sell them.
Dish sizes disclaimer.
Please not that dish sizes vary.
Manufactures quote a particular size of dish, however, dishes are not circular, they are
oval and the dish diameter referred to in their literature and on our site is an
approximation and should not be taken as an exact dimension.
