[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 788302, member: 325666"] Been in bed with a nasty flu bug for a few days ...but had to drag my carcass into work today .. Just as my ka lnb arrived this morning .. So aching I climbed the stepladders and swapped out my Cband lnb for the inverto dual polarity dual output lnb. Got the Alcoa aligned on 9 East...in an attempt to lock ...saorsat..and certainly not expecting anything ..and such I was rewarded .. Nada.. ..but for the occasional burst of signal which barely made 1db on the F15 ....and that was sporadic at best. Now there are many issues in play .. Dish to small at 1.8 m for my location ...plus ..the lnb was designed for an offset ...and not my pf.. So am on a hiding to nothing to start with .. Sadly I can't even find a solid consistant signal to peak the lnb at the ...errr...focus .. Plus my dish is a petal design and as such tends to be ineficient even in ku. Question.. Is there a constant ka signal source from any bird aimed at the UK that I might have a chance to aim for and setup the lnb (optimise ) ?? so little to go at ..such tight beams ..that the persuit of ka broadcasts are indeed going to qualify as 'fringe' reception ...though the intended reception areas are mere hundreds of miles away. I have more chance of receiving South Africa than Northern Ireland Ironic isn't it.. but thats the future ...and I'm not relishing it. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
