Andy,
There appears to be some confusion regarding the grid pack that you are asking about.
That grid pack is designed for 2.4 Ghz - the similar sized grid pack that Radio Specialists used to sell for 1.2 Ghz is a quite different feed.
A couple of points that you should note from the discussion (this topic goes back to 2010):
(1) Given that most microwave ops use horizontal polarisation, you will need to run the grid pack in such an orientation that the grids are horizontal
(2) The grid spacing is sufficient to work well above 2.4Ghz, but if you ever decided to try 5.7Ghz, you would need to reduce the grid spacing (most use a bronze style mesh)
There are all sorts of feeds that you could try for 1.2Ghz that will work once you find the correct focus position, which is roughly where the existing feed for 2.4 Ghz is.
I have seen the following types of feeds used successfully:
(1) Bow tie
(2) Quad
(3) Dipole
(4) Log periodic.
The log periodic feed is interesting -
provided you don't run too much power. Have a look at

Kent produces some really interesting printed circuit board antennas at a most reasonable price.
The 850 to 6500 LP is very useful as the feed is at the front of the LP, which means that you can mount it onto the existing feed of the Grid pack you have, with a suitable coaxial socket mounted on the end of the aluminium square section.
That will give you a pretty useful 4 band grid pack antenna for 1.2, 2.4, 3.4 and 5.7 although you would need to add extra mesh for 5.7Ghz to the grid.
Some food for thought Andy.
