[MLB-WIRELESS] AusStar Antenna?

[Jamie Lovick]

Hi,

It's a Satellite dish with LNBF by the sounds of it. Assuming it's a
standard 65cm dish, probably worth around $0 to $50 second hand,
depending on who's selling and who's buying.

Great for Satellite TV, not much good for anything else. It is possible
to swap the LNBF for something like a Bi-Quad or Di-Pole and use the
reflector for wireless, but there are better solutions.

Regards

Jamie
