If you want to have TV or FOXTEL in the bush away from any piece of civilization The SatKing ProMax Fully Automatic Motorised Satellite TV Dish for Caravan is the most advanced system on the Australian market, utilising the latest in flat panel antenna design and is perfectly suited for off grid camping.
- The flat panel design receives the signal through small copper slots that act like many antennas in one. The signal is fed through small chambers that actually increase the signal gain through this process. The antenna arrays are then mixed together via a combiner and fed into the high performance rear mounted LNB, resulting in greatly increased gain.
- Flat panel satellite antennas also take up a great deal less space on the roof of your van leaving you with more choices for the exact location that you place the ProMax on your roof. You will be able to place the ProMax in between solar panels and air conditioners and even position the unit directly above a cupboard to easily drop cables in.
- Flat panel satellite TV antennas offer higher signal gain than many larger oval offset oval type satellite TV dishes. The increased gain is also related to not having the large arm out the front of the dish that can easily become not accurately aligned as you bounce along the road resulting in reduced accuracy (less gain). This design means the Pro Max will provide Australia wide coverage for VAST & Foxtel.
- The ProMax is also not affected by wind like the larger old style oval dishes that pixelate when the wind blows. The unit does also not need to be retracted in high winds like the large oval dishes.
- The SatKing ProMax has 3 motors meaning the old days of having to manually get up on the roof of the van to adjust LNB skew (turning the LNB clockwise or anti clockwise) when you are travelling from say Melbourne across to Adelaide and then to Perth are gone. The complete head of the ProMax simply adjusts automatically for you. The precise automatic skew with this unit will also improve the signal quality in low signal areas.
