Parabolic system
The Q1 Parabolic is now going into production.
This is a very fine product at the $500 level.
I have been very busy as of late but as spring is upon us I will get photos
up shortly. Not the nice background and sun photos I wished for but they
can follow later.
Over 5 years in dev. and a very fine system as either hand held or tripod
mounted. Not a small dish but very fine sound. 32", 5 lbs 1 oz.
