[MLB-WIRELESS] Galaxy Antennas & the "black box"

[Andy Freeman]

I scrounged a galaxy setup from a friend and it is marked as follows...

"dish"
Pacific Monolithics
Sunnyvale California
Integrated Down Converter
US Patent 5,015,968

"the black box"
Jerrold 
General Instrument
Addressable Baseband Converter
Model 5508w

Now this dish looks different to the "how to modify" pictures that I've
seen on the melbwireless web site links.  Did Geelong get a different
type to Canberra and Perth?

What is the "dBi" of this model and/or is it worth modifying for my
wireless deployment?

Is there something "cool & geeky" I can do with the "black box"?
(be polite please!) 
 


Andy.
