Rumored to be based on missile tracking systems, this unique, 4 axis, stabilised antenna is impressive, to say the least. It's military origins are evident in the precision machining of the metal components and it's rugged, trouble free performance. The dish is a highly efficient dual offset Gregorian 1.15m (45') Ku-Band antenna housed in a low loss 1.28m (50') radome. The 3 lower axes are powered and controlled by three identical, and interchangeable SDM modules containing the mechanics and electronics of each drive. Hezekiah Walker Family Affair 2 more. These modules are easily replaced with 6 screws. The antenna weight of 270Kg (almost 600 lb) should be taken into consideration when placing the antenna. The system has excellent remote software, allowing the antenna to be monitored and controlled over IP from any PC on the ship's network or even, if necessary, from a PC with access to the ship's network on shore.
