[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 800122, member: 325666"] Hi friends .. The rain finally made it to Manchester as expected ..so it seemed a good time to try this .. The object ...to make a list of all circular polarised transponders which can be locked solid without inserting any kind of depolarising dielectric plate .. I've tried it the other way round ..ie ..linear polarised channels with a plate inserted..so figured it worth a go. It in theory should highlight those channels less critical to depolarisation ..though obviously dish size is still relevant. There were many transponders producing signal in excess of 6db (F15 readings) ..which would normally be enough for lock ..but if a channel on the same or adjacent frequency is using the opposite polarisation left or right circular ..then obviously the receiver would be confused as to which to lock to ..thus ..no lock. So waffle over ...here is that list.. From 20 East to 40 West.
