[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 1069085, member: 312276"] [USER=413479]@Stuggy[/USER] I think you are wasting your time. IMHO proper way how to install and adjust antenna should be: - do the string test to find out whether the shape is perfect; - measure dimensions and calculate offset angle and position of Focal point; - make sure LNB-holder holds LNB in such a way that it's Phase center is co-located with antenna's Focal point; - point antenna to satellite to maximum signal and adjust LNB's skew. - you may also need to move LNB closer/further to dish to get better performance. If you continue to drill additional holes in the feedarm to move LNB around you will be doing it forever and will never get maximum from the dish. [/QUOTE]
