In fact, the antenna consists of 252 small reception elements all of which are interconnected. Only the very precise design and production make possible the high gain that is required. Plus manual is just as detailed and clear as with the FTA-1. Installing the dish is described in detail with small drawings to explain and visualise the steps. In fact, the manual is so detailed that even the often-neglected subject of lightning protection is being discussed.
Installation is simple.
If a mast is at hand, the Future 1 Plus can be mounted in a few minutes. Even in bad weather there is enough backup to ensure proper reception. Even during snowfalls we noticed no dropouts. Since the dish is vertically mounted, snow will not stay on the dish for long anyway. It is not often that we get to see a dish with such a good amplification and one which exactly meets the specifications put on paper by the manufacturer.
