Just a quick update on my portable parabola design. From the first version I wanted to add a few features such as
-having the coax go through the centre tube and have a connector at rear.
-using a solid tube for the whole centre pole to increase rigidity over the first version
-designing various feed horns, at the moment i have feeds for 1.7ghz(hrpt), 1.5ghz(inmarsat) and 10ghz(Xband).
For a 1 Metre parabola the weight is around 350g and the pack away size is very satisfying.
redesign images are below. I find the more I make redesigns the more time consuming manufacturing becomes, I might sell as a kit thus putting the build time upon the buyer.
