Slimeline dish size

1147 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  tkrandall
I have searched and am having a hard time finding this info.

Can someone with a Slimeline AU-9 dish please measure the height and width of the dish/reflector? I understand the AT9 was 25.5 x 29.5, the Phase III is 18-21 inches.

thx

Below is from a post on another thread that answers your question. They had said this 1 would be smaller than the AT-9, but according to this that's not the case.

Measurements

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LNB also draws less current than the old AT-9 dish as well. 180ma vs. 250-300 ma of the AT-9 LNB. This is good news because you can have longer cable runs with less voltage drop between the receiver and LNB when you have an LNB that needs 30-40% less amperage.

32.25 X 22.50= 725.625 sq. inch surface area vs 29.50 X 25.50 = 752.25
sq. in surface area for the AT-9. Curiously, the Slimline seems to have greater
gain than the AT-9(measurements taken using identical equip. but two
dish types, AT-9 & Slimline) transponder strengths obtained via HR-20-700.
You can now order it from a on-line dealer..... http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?PROD=AU9-S
LNB arm with LNBS attached extends 23.5" from the dish surface area
