[QUOTE="Satcom1, post: 605087, member: 302061"] You are the man!!!! Excellent work. You are a master carpenter. For a BIG dish like this the Rust-Oleum paint is expensive, your idea of powdered aluminum is best. Cheapest way is applying aluminum foil over wet resin. Roll it smooth. It will form some wrinkels but if they are less then 1 mm high, will make no difference Thank you for sharing your project !! :cool::cool::cool::cool: I will venture you will get very good C band and all the KU there is to get. Coolsat 5000 typically $30 on Ebay (FYI) May I suggest a BSC421 C band LNBF 13K very sensative and cheap. (Ebay) I found cheap KU lnbs linear and circular as well as Diseqc 1.0 switches on Ebay. I have a Invacom QPH-031 but retired it for the cheap lnbf's I got off Ebay. You may want "Universal" lnbf but I found "Standard" works better with PCI programs like ProgDVB or DVBDream. Best to stay away from BSC621-2 for small dish but on your dish it will work very good and is easy to tune. This lnbf is in my Avatar. [/QUOTE]
