Looking at Likvid's new 55cm dish pics, I thought the feed horn looked in a different position to mine. :confused

After some confering with him, it appears that there is a difference. :-doh!

It would be interesting to find out why there is a difference and when it occured. :D

If members with Fibo 55cm dishes could measure the centres of the fixing holes on the arm, dish to Feedhorn, and feedhorn to sub-reflector, and post here with perhaps serial no. or approx age of dish if poss. it might shed some light, or perhaps confusion. :-worship

My distances are 246mm and 134mm ser.no. 11934

Likvid's are 230mm and 150mm ser.no. 00004

:-thumb1

PS I wonder if there are similar changes on the other sizes. :confused

I told Likvid that his must have been a prototype. :-rofl2

I have asked my German friend about this and he will check his 55cm.

I'll check mine next time I'm up the ladder and let you know - I do know that mine has no label on the back so no serial no. or date of manufacture.

Thanks Stu, when I get mine mounted I will probably slot the mounting holes and have a play, I'm a bit puzzled as to why they changed it, have checked with Likvid and sub-reflector seems to be the same :confused
