Auto Sat Dish

[Busman]

Anyone heard anything about the SNIPE auto sat dish, square flat thing quite small, and good price, less than 1900 in places, but that aint much use if it aint any good.

IMHO, its dish size is equivalent to a 65cm dish no good in WA or other parts, they state good for Northern Australian and SA, that would be the biggest problem for some people. They have provided very little info on suitability like a map etc. Other small dishes Ive seen have a very limited area of operation.

It looks really good, I Like it. BUT!!!

Better find some one who owns one and travels a lot around OZ.

Yeah I like it too !! But also like to know someone who used it ! Or be a guinea pig I guess.

They had them on display at the Boonah rally last October and they look like a good idea but other than the sales pitch/blurb they had little in the way of actual operation detail, I'd ask to be referred to a customer who has actually bought one. As Russell commented they may be limited in actual real time coverage.

We looked at one of them and in the end decided to purchase one of the well proven Aldan units for about $600 more and are very happy with it.

I assume from the maps that 50dbw or better, if I'm reading it correctly its a very limited viewing reception area.

G'day,

I emailed a seller of the product and they supplied this map of the antenna's reception area;

Rather useless, I reckon.
