[QUOTE="John, post: 986902, member: 175005"] Well, this is something that i noticed when i started to use offset dishes way back when my 2.2 PF got trashed ..... when i had a 1.8 PF Precision and also the 2.2 PF Precision i found that it was quite easy to see and obtain the point of focus. As soon as i had the 1.8CM offset even in its original state, unmodified in any way, the focus point was "soft" , a lot harder to define the exact precise spot compared to the PF dishes. My dish at the mo is braced to high heaven due to it's bits and bobs on it as you know, and is permanently strung, which shows perfect string kissing. The results i get with the 1.8 CM are not flagging up any worry messages with me at the mo. I do feel that solid metal dishes are better performers on Ka band than the plastic varieties though, there must be a tad of Ka signal just squeezing through the mesh lol. Thanks for the transfer btw. [/QUOTE]
