The above message has been getting a lot of attention and also the suggestion that this page should be better indexed. Not sure about
indexing, that but I have investigated above and found that the as GD Satcom pdf link above no longer works.
So edited this page today.
GDSatcom Technologies (GDSatcom) is now part of Communications & Power Industries, Inc. (CPI).
So, if you are interested, please go to https://www.cpii.com/
and enquire or search there.
This page:
https://www.cpii.com/antenna-technologies/product/flyaway-antennas-135/18m-612
shows several similar 1.8m VSAT antennas suitable for C band, X band, Ku or Ka band operation,
according to feed selection.
In my experience it is important to install the three sloping
support rods and the three main side struts to the central support
tube tightly to prevent rotation of the pole in the wind.
This is particularly relevant with the narrow beam widths if used at
Ka band. If you find it a bit loose check you have followed
the instructions carefully with regards to any washers and which
side of the lugs to be used etc.
Test your installation by gently pushing on the sides to check it
is 'rock solid!'
