[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 758563, member: 323322"] Not possible to say, as there is simply no means of properly comparing Strength readings from one system to another due to all sorts of factors such as the metering characteristics of your receiver and other variables such as the type and length of cable connected, the LNB etc. etc. The only value in Strength readings is for optimisation of your own system ie They are, for all practical purposes, relative rather than absolute. As for 26E, the answer is "yes" and "no". The reason is that it is difficult to prevent 26E reception being "swamped" by 28E with dishes up to about 1m. Above that, it's easier as the beamwidth is narrower. A trick is to enter the position as (say) 25.6 deg rather than 26 ........... just play around and you might get lucky. [/QUOTE]
