FEATURES
s Eutelsat Standard Antenna Approval (Fixed General Purpose, Std. L, M). s ETSI certified. s Dual Optics design for ultra low cross-polarization. s Two-piece precision offset thermosetmolded reflector. s Heavy-duty galvanized Az/El mount. s Fine azimuth and elevation adjustments. s Galvanized and stainless hardware for maximum corrosion resistance. s Includes Ku-Band feed assembly and precision aluminum subreflector.

DESCRIPTION
The Channel Master Type 244 Dual Optics Rx-Tx Antenna is a rugged commercial grade product suitable for the most demanding applications . The dual optics design provides the superior cross-pol discrimination demanded for optimum performance on the Eutelsat satellite system. The reflector is thermoset-molded for strength and surface accuracy. Molded into the rear of the reflector is a network of support ribs which not only strengthens the antenna, but also helps to maintain the critical parabolic shape necessary for transmit performance. The Az/El mount is constructed from heavy-gauge steel to provide a rigid support to the reflector and feed support arm. Heavy-duty lock-down bolts secure the mount to any 6.63 in.
