Hi Everyone,
You might want to go have a wee, and grab some cool drink before starting to read my rambling.
A few weeks ago I posted some pics of my 2.0m dish in the pictures section.
Last night after working for many hours with it, I realised that the dish is NOT functioning properly.
Why? If you read the picture post, you would recall that the dish was badly damaged when I got it. I disassembled it, and started forming the panels of it. After many hours of work, it finally looked like it had before. After I wash finished, I checked the focus length of it, and all seemed in order.
I have tried numerous times now to receive some Ku band channels with it, and was only able to see a few from Pas 7/10.The signal strength from the Sat is 45dbW.No pointing a dish of that size to a transponder with 45dbw ,is just ridiculous ,as signal will be perfect with a 60cm!
What is my point?
I need some help. Maybe I should spend some more time with the dish, forming the panels?
Does anyone have good info on how to do this ( correctly?).
Attached is a pic of the dish, Its Elsat brand, but probably a rip off from some other brand.
Thanks for reading
