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

[MARK K8MD]

The dish was made by Microwave Radio Crop. Freq Range 21.2 - 23.6 GHZ it should work. I have access to equipment if it needs tweaking (SWR Issue) Mark

Howdy. Is this a 39ghz or 24ghz dish?  Never heard of this kind before. Most 39g dishes have plastic covers. The feed is a metalized tube with a
 subreflector mounted with plastic supports
