They sell the dishes pretty cheap, considering they include the bracket, the molded plastic piece that holds the radio, and the IP55 or IP67 door or gland. I don’t think they want Chuck to make any money selling dishes.
Isn’t it something like $64 for a 4-pack? At that price I honestly wonder if they make any money (obviously you also have to buy the SM and those aren’t cheap). The packaging alone must cost a few bucks (if you’ve ever unboxed them, you know what I mean).

Take one to a machine shop fabricator and see what it will cost to have some made, may be cheaper than you expect. Might even be worth trying a 3d print, might get pricey. I believe you can order cases of feed horns now. I doubt making your own dishes passes FCC muster, but maybe. Theres a guy named chuck here who knows a thing or two about machining stuff. Stamping and rolling a dish lip probably requires specific tooling, but you never know what tooling a fabricator has unless you ask. You could even get all crazy and get custom mounts made up if techs dont like the clamps. I dont know if the force200 dish is the same size and shape, but it's possible you might find a fabricator who can retrofit those. I think every cambium shop that went to 300 has a pile of 200s they're trying to figure out what to do with.
