joyngeoff Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 We are about to fit an automatic roof mounted Satellite dish on our Kedron XC. 2006 model. Can we have some feedback on the what members have experienced with either of these units. we have space for either unit however the Satking has a much smaller footprint. we will be having the unit installed by Solar N Sat in Gin Gin.

ATV42 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi there Geoff & Joy. We went for the Oyster system on our current and previous Kedrons. Never had any problems anywhere in Australia. When we stop for the night, the 1st thing I do is to put the dish up and get a picture. That way we ensure the dish has a clear view of the satellite and no trees etc are in the way. A few times we've had to move a few metres one way or the other. Cheers Peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayzee Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi Geoff and Joy Totally agree with Pete. We’ve had an Oyster and Satking for years and completely happy. As he said trees can be a problem at times but you can usually work around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayzee Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Geoff and Joy The Satking is the VAST box not another dish. We’ve only ever had this system Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyngeoff Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi John, Sorry I should have said the Satking Promax not just Satking The Satking Promax Satelite dish is a square unit of very low profile satellite receiver using new technology. They come recommended by Several installers and have a similar warranty to Oyster of 3 years. I Have seen several Kedrons as well as other makes with the Satking Promax receivers but not had the chance to seek their opinions. How have you found the Oyster in strong winds. Does it hold the signal and or do you retract it for security. Regards, Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayzee Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hi Geoff According to the manual the Oyster is ok up to 130kph. We haven’t left it up for anything approaching that and no problems with reception. In strong winds we still have good receprion.
