[QUOTE="Llew, post: 890010, member: 175007"] The 'jamming' transponder is now active here, FEC changed from 2/3 (Saorsat) to 1/2. Therefore no RTE reception here. I can only surmise that, for reasons best known to themselves, last night they used the transponder to downlink RTE to this area on that footprint for some special purpose. However, after some dish realignment, the signal has now increased by 3dB to over 9dB, which means for me the Inverto feed is far better for me to use on the TD88 than the Hughes oval feed. VS, I'll give details of the way I mated the Inverto feedhorn to the polariser soon, and the orientation of polariser/OMT. Meanwhile, here's a shot of the 19.7 to 20.2 scan. To do: inject a 27MHz signal into the IF up to the Hughes LNB to see if it switches the H/V over. I have a switching circuit to try out. [/QUOTE]
