| Description |
Dave's satellite dish is a GATR, which is ingenious. It blows up, and the reciever/sender mounts tor the front. The 'dish' is a fabric membrane that stretches across the middle. My favourite part is how the curvature is put across the dish -- the blower has two entries, one on each side of the membrane. There's knob where you can modulate the ratio of air going in each of the sides, and thus by putting more air in one side you can change the curve of the dish. So clever. You point the dish by changing the length of the tie down ropes. The whole thing deflates and fits in a suitcase. It's an order of magnitude lighter and smaller than equivalent hard dishes. I've got no commercial connection to the company, but I've used their stuff in the field on multiple occasions, and I think they're great. |
