It's the feed that determine the frequency. If there is no markings on it the only reasonable way is to use something like a Bird Site Analyzer to figure out your VSWR on the feed and see where the VSWR and return loss is the best. The dish itself only focus the energy in one particular spot then

Got a spectrum analyzer and a frequency generator? Or a good network analyzer will do, but most people don't have one laying around. The feeds could literally be anything. You might be better off just calling the MFG of the dish and buying new feeds in the range you want unless you you have a
