Dish calculation software released by VK3UM

Although principally designed for the EME community, VK3UM's EMECalc Ver. 7.00 software also contains tools that satellite dish users may find useful.

Doug, VK3UM says his software provides the capability to select various feed types (derived from Paul W1GHZ simulations), and match it to your own dish f/d.

This allows prediction of spill over and then simplies the correct selection of a feed to match your dish. This match provides several dB of performance improvement.
