[MAMS] 24ghz: Anyone usingMRC-22/30 HP Dish?

[MARK K8MD]

The rattling I'm pretty sure is a Nut that came off a bolt. The cover is off but the reflector with antenna are fastened down with small nuts into screws. I'll get in there and get the dish configured for use. Thanks for the comments. Mark

OK. Where is the rattling happening? Is it inside the dish and the plastic
cover? How hard is it to get the cover off?
