hi martin there is no link for modification you fit the lnb as you would for ordinary channels,I had an old lnb for circular but took the plate out and filed it so I could insert it in the lnb between the two probes.

I am really impressed with what you get on your dish there. Any other TPs from that satellite?

Martin, I'd be very interested to see what you get from this location as well in your 1.8m ...when you get it running.

hi CJ transponder 12284R is the only one I can lock but the other transponders 12437R at 50% quality no lock and 12360 at 46% quality no lock will need more gain before locking the other transponders vary from 38% quality to 43% quality.
