Hi all,

I found plans for a 5760 Mhz horn antenna in the UHF/Microwave Projects
manual Vol 2.  That looks good but the gain is only 13.9 dbi.

I looked over the results for the antenna range tests last year and Bob,
W0AUS had a horn that measured at 18.4 dbi.  Can one just copy the
dimensions of that horn and build one up?

Also, the transistion from SMA cable (or N connector) to the horn, I assume
I need a C-band waveguide to sma adapter (WR-159? or WR-187??) or just
solder some UT-141 into the waveguide, proper lenght?

Any help here appreciated.
