[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 104589, member: 176379"] It is a prime focused Channel Master you are using right? You set the f/d to the f/d of the dish, if you have f/d of 0.40 you have to set the Corotor to 0.40 also. However adjusting the scalar rings on the corotor doesn't affect Ku-band as much as you think as the Corotor is not working so good with Ku-band. I used the Corotor on my 3 meter dish once but exchanged it for the Seavey C/Ku and the performance was much better in Ku-band. There is that Golden ring also you can buy to fit in the center choke, it is primarly used for deep dishes. The surface on a Ku-band dish needs to be better than C-band, i think it's something like close within 2.54 mm.... When it comes to that C-band dishes are more curved is not true...... Best thing is to buy a high performance solid KU-band dish, then you can use it with excellent results in C-band as well.... [/QUOTE]
