Just for fun I strapped my wsi C&Ku combo on the dish.

Never had the cband lnb in prime position before.

Still need to find a few more positions.

Sadly 40.5°W is a no go with the dish in its current position.

Nice one Squire, that's worth having a go at and then evaluating against the AV-Comm barrel. Any chance of re-photographing the drawing to a bigger file to make it a bit more readable and some actual pics of the device would be great . Yeah, fancy a go with this .
Cheers.
Edit: Is that off the 1.5 Gibby ?.
