It gave a reading of 6 for signal strength using the bare adapter and as high as 23 with the wok I can only assume that whatever the value of the increments that the ratio is accurate. As luck would have it, I found an abandoned TV "cable" antenna - as used here "cable" is received on a 3 foot dia. parabolic antenna and I will probably try that at some later date. My question is what makes you think that these two "dishes" are Parabolas, and not just dish shaped? I would bet that the TV dish will work significantly better than any dish shaped reflector, simply because it will have the correct mathematical shape, and the Focal Point will be defined properly by the designers. -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply |
