hi, everyone and good evening, I recently found a 1.8 m dish for sale 75 $$ 71 inch they say it will work good for c band , personally I do not think so, could someone tell me if this would work decent for that. it is prime focus, on ebay.

1.8 meters is about right for ku band.
Yes. You can get c band with a 1.8 meter or smaller dish. I have used a 1.2 meter dish for c band tests. The smallest diameter I would suggest for c band is 7.5 feet or about 2.3 meters. 3 meters and up will give you most of what is supposed to be available.

I have used a 1.8m dish on c band in the past with adequate results, unfortunately those tougher tp will not scan in. I would suggest a 3m dish(10') for c band.

[easily confused]

I'm using a 2.3 meter dish and it works ok but there are a number of transponders I can't pull so I'd go bigger if you can.
