Spotted a sale on the WOS (world of Sats) site for a Technomate 97cm (38.1 inch) mesh ku dish. Thought what the heck, I would like to try it and emailed them to see what the total cost would be to my address. They replied quickly and informed me they do not sell dishes to U.S. customers.
Too bad, since I figured the shipping weight would be just a tad more than a Vu+ Duo2 receiver.
Continued searching other vendors in Euro land and have not had any replies to date. Should anyone come across a vendor that offers this dish and ships to the U.S., please let me know.

I may know some peeps that would buy it for you, but shipping stateside could be the cost of 3 of them.
Do a UPS shipping quote for the size of the package and total weight, calculate it from London UK to your addy.
You also have to do US/UK customs and export/import forms, and these will cost you also.

The dish on EBay.uk is about $105.00 U.S. shipped and is the cheapest price including shipping that I can find right now.
I regularly buy products from vendors in other countries and I never have to worry with US/UK customs and export/import forms. These purchases are less than $750.00 U.S. per transaction, and are for personal use. The vendor or seller fills out the forms needed for shipping into the U.S. Larger transactions or items being shipped for resale will usually have some extra charges.
Private party is different, and I have to do the customs form which usually takes a minute or two when shipping something to Canada or other countries..

Thanks guys.... EB the site you posted is for a 80 cm dish... so I emailed the seller to see if he can get the 97 cm dish. Hopefully he can. I figure the shipping should be around $70-75 compared to the 80 cm at $65. Nice looking dish, would really like to compare it to the DTV dish I am using for 87 ku.

I do not know of anyone that makes a 97cm dish. Most likely, some fool is measuring a 90cm offset dish from top to bottom which is not correct. This is usually the case where you see a strange number for the dish size. Be sure to ask what is actually being measured before ordering.

Found another manufacturer of 97cm ku mesh dishes. Hopefully, they will lead me to a dealer that will ship to the U.S. The ebay vendor in earlier post above contacted me saying he only had the 80 cm available, but in solid format, not mesh.

The average fta lnb sees the satellite dish as a perfect circle. More material is added at the top and bottom of the offset dish so the lnb will not see the ground or area behind the dish. This is done because the lnb is offset, so the long axis of the offset dish will have extra length that is not illuminated by the lnb. The short axis is what is closer to the usable size for satellite reception.
From your link.
Small Axis Diameter
87 cm
Long Axis Diameter
97 cm
That dish is 3cm short of being a 90 cm dish. The usable area for satellite reception would not be 97cm.
Try Alibaba. I am sure they will have what you are looking for, but it is hard to find a vendor on that site who will ship a single dish (piece).
