Im afraid it's just a dish we have in storage.  Will probably be buying 
new ones.

I doubt anywhere sells the feedhorn on it's own, but even if you have 
to buy a whole new dish, it's usually easier to swap the feedhorn than 
to drag a whole new dish up a tower.

I believe if you just change the feedhorns out, yes.

Yeah, if you change the feedhorn maybe.  Does anyone sell the feedhorn by
itself?

Might work for short distance if not designed for that frequency.   Its
math...look up Cassegrain Hyperbole to get idea of correlation or Just Ask

I would have to look at that stays and what changes.  Normally the subreflector 
is matched with the feed and both have to change.
