My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

Is that Sellotape (Scotch Tape) you're using around the LNB body and (if my eyes don't deceive me!) around the F connector/Cable?

If so, it won't last long as protection against moisture ingress. I don't know if you can get self amalgamating tape where you are located, but using that on the F Plug/Cable would be a much better idea

Stephen-

Is that a dual C/KU LNBF? Did you make it?

If so, I have two different makes and neither work good on KU when C Band is peaked.

What is your experience?

Diseqc operates from a serial data sent from receiver, 22Khz operates from tone on or off from receiver. If the receiver is powered on while moving cables you will ZAP that Diseqc port, time to get a new one.

If your KU lnbf is a Universal it has a built in 22kz switch, if a standard 10750 no switch. Your receiver would be configured for Diseqc first then 22Khz on or off second.

Maybe this will help; _http://www.satelliteguys.us/fta-mpeg2-faqs/133444-diseqc-1-0-1-1-1-2-1-3-whats-all-mean.html

Sure it is Sellotape! I just worked with the available materials. I'm not sure of the existence of self amalgamating tape in our shops, but will look for it. The Sellotape held the things for two weeks till I put wood glue-I dont know how long that can work on those metals.

What I experienced though - I am going to trouble shoot, was loss of signal.

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S

If you cant get self amalgam tape then duck (gaffer) tape is better than sellotape - its not ideal but will last a lot longer !

Thanks Analoguesat;

How about WOOD GLUE (the type that is milky-white and turns like plastic when dry)? I have it at home for my miscellenious, and have already deployed it on the lnbs.

It sounds like you are talking about PVA glue (White Glue). PVA Glue is not water proof, so I wouldnt recommend it.

I'd imagine it would get brittle and break up from exposure to the elements.

First attempt of trying to get IS 906 yeilded nothing this weekend, but will proceed to do another trial over the weekend. Thanks all FTA-wishers.
