OK I read the below about the MULTIMO PORTABLE SATELLITE DISH by Zehnder and was recently lucky enough to have had a sample unit for evaluation here in the US of A.
Firstly it has a Linear UNIVERSAL LNB (Of course) And the LNB can be hand skewed by about +/- 20 deg.
To start I aimed the antenna by eye and let my trusty TRAXIS DBS 3500 satelite receiver do the work, I Blind scanned in AMC - 1 right away. You could have knocked me over with a feather when RTPi popped in at 74% signal Quality. TV Latio then popped in at 45-50% signal quality.........
I then hooked up my TRIMAX satellite meter and pointed true south (93 deg. W.) and the Azteca channels blind scanned in at 66% I continued scanning until it got dark with mixed results. More to come I am sure.........
Although never intended for this market I found this dish to work perfectly on some of the very strong transponders......... on a clear day......... with an oncoming wind ; ) "The Multimo is one of the best selling portable satellite dishes in the U.K., its compact size and ease of use making it an ideal satellite dish for mobile use.
With any satellite dish designed for mobile use, one of the most important factors is how its fixed in position. The Multimo can be mounted in the following ways:
♦ On a tripod, jockey wheel or pole. (a U-clamp is supplied)
♦ Using a magnet (available separately)
♦ Using a suction mount (available separately)
♦ Free-standing on a table, a stool or even on the ground, even inside an awning. (a G-clamp is supplied)
No other satellite dish has all these mounting options.
Although it only measures 40cm in diameter, the Multimo has the performance of a 55cm satellite dish and can be used over the whole of Europe. It will receive all U.K. TV channels all over england (spit), Scotland (THE BRAVE), Wales & Ireland and over most of Le France.
The Multimo has a base unit and can be simply placed on a table or clamped to a shelf or step. If preferred, the dish can be removed from its base and clamped to a pole or tripod mount.
If used with a Zehnder satfinder and in accordance with the instructions supplied, it should take no longer than a few minutes to set the system up and be receiving satellite TV."
The Multimo portable satellite dish is suitable for use with both analogue and digital transmissions and can be used with any satellite receiver, its made by Zehnder
