[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 559228, member: 175144"] There could be a focus point issue, especially since the first side lobe is/was 4.6dB below the maximum gain of the Channel Master reflector. Maybe you are still not on the main lobe ? Have you tried measuring each side of the reflector up to the edges of the feedhorn ? If the boresight is not correct this throws off the main focal point, and introduces odd lobes of signal, which often throws the installer into attempting a false correction of the azimuth, or the position of the satellite. But you have done well so far, impressing the wife is never easy. [/QUOTE]
