[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 1023845, member: 243342"] Finally, the sun stayed out long enough to do stuff outside. One of the things I wanted to try was setting up the multi-feed for my 1.2m CM dish in hope of recreating it. The goal is to create a multi-feed arrangement for 1w and 5e. These are generally borderline here on anything less than 1m and 1.2m gives 24/7 reception with decent rain margin on both (except SES-5). The primary focus is 1w, so aligned the dish on that first... [ATTACH]109487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]109486[/ATTACH] 14.5dB - not bad, considering my 1.8m gets 17dB on the same transponder... 5E was 12.5dB (no picture). After a LOT of faffing, these are the maximum signals I could get in multi-feed setup. 1W (shown as 3E on meter) and 5E respectively... [ATTACH]109485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]109484[/ATTACH] And here's how it looks. [ATTACH]109488[/ATTACH] Err... frankly, I think it's a pretty awful design. The one for Gibertinis is much more solid - this is nothing short of a glorified meccano set. But... it works. Only a temporary lash-up - as soon as the wife saw it, she shouted "YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER DISH!". Partially because I am deaf and partially because we already have three dishes around the property... I can take measurements for anyone interested. [/QUOTE]
