1.2 Gregorian with Hughes

[scopus]

OK, more playing, this time the 1.2 Precision off my 3 inch pole and the 1.2 Greg attaches to the 1224 using the original Fibo motor declination brackets. Made an LNB clamp from some studding and some spare bits from a universal TV aerial bracket. A bit more gain was to be had.
I need a Trust type LNB revolver now!

Nice piece of kit. If only I could find the time to play some more.

Yes it is RimaNTSS;)

 

[RimaNTSS]

Yes it is

That what i was suspected. Original Fibo holder holds feedhorn little bit not vertical, do not remember right now but it was something about 3-5*

Why do the ITN people have to write "restricted to ITV regional companies"?
Why not just encrypt the damn thing?
It's so easy an cheap these days - but of course it makes the world of feeds much more fun for us eaves-droppers ;)

Still the single Chris, the one that was on the Fraccaro.

More playing. I wanted to try out the feedhorn supplied with the dish, so made a waveguide barrel from a pukka Hughes feed to fit in the feedhorn assembly, tapered the end like the XMW feed.
Not bad considering I'm only using files, hacksaws and a vice.
Seems to work well..
