My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | The LNB itself does not need waterproofing as it has a transparent membrane at the mouth. However, at some dish elevations it may be possible to get rain in the feedhorn, and if it was able to collect at the lnb, you would get no or little signal. I cannot see unfortunately the feedhorn rain cover listed in satmueller catalogue, just the feedhorn that comes with it. I think you will have to improvise for a little while, pet food can cover maybe? | ||

Yep, looks OK. Hopefully the screw holes will line up OK too, but the flange and the waveguide diameter look to be correct. As for the rain cover, you're going to have to play with that, and see what works, but doesn't affect signal. I'd be tempted to bung some tape round it initially. | |||
