[MLB-WIRELESS] looking for canopy reflector

[Tyson Clugg]

Simon and others,

Have you got a canopy to use, or are you assuming someone will lend you
one?  Tim doesn't have any spare, and they're somewhat expensive
devices:

The canopy is designed to mount the whole device *as the feed unit* on a
parabolic dish, not to be attached to an external antenna.  The white
feed unit in the pic on the following web page is a canopy device:

Supposedly the old Foxtel dishes can be modded to act as a reflector,
nfi as to what is involved.

Cheers,
Tyson.

FYI: I work with Tim...
