[MLB-WIRELESS] Largish dish for sale

[Kym Michael]

Clearly when configured per specs for satellite it would be too high in gain.

What if you de-focussed the dish?

i.e. moved the antenna element either in or out from the focal point of the 
parabola, would that not produce a broader beam of lower gain which is 
ideal for our use and has the advantage that by tuning the focus it can be 
tuned right up to the maximum allowable signal strength.
