Will this parabolic do the trick? A buddy gave it to me for free
A buddy just gave me this parabolic to have. It was originally from calamp.com but I can’t seem to find this part number on their site. The others on the site indicate broadband use.

Will this work for stumbling? He’s not sure whether it’ll work either. I posted a few pics...

thanks in advance

Why don't you try it and tell us how it worked? I'm sure it'll be fine for stumbling targets several miles away, but it's way too powerful and focused for stumbling in the typical sense. It'll look cool on the roof of your car though.

Most likely, you'll have to remove the LnB. It says that it's a down converter. Also, a 32dB antenna is illegal under FCC regulations for unlicensed ISM band use.

This Australian site might be of interest: http://www.radio-active.net.au/web/80211/galaxy.html

It covers the conversion of a very similar antenna.
