The DB8e requires a beefy J-mount or similar. It makes quite a sail in high winds and you don't want it blowing down, breaking the mount, or otherwise damaging the roof if it pulls out. If the J-mount was originally specified for a satellite dish, I'd be okay with it.

You'll also need to ensure that any J-mount used is long enough to allow the 3'3" tall DB8e to be mounted and, if necessary, rotated so it can be properly aimed without the roof interfering. For this reason, I only recommend our 40" J-mount for our four and eight bay antennas. While they will physically attach to a 30" mount, you may end up with roof interference issues as mentioned and care must be taken to prevent this.
Ok, very helpful, thanks!
