[QUOTE="John, post: 985579, member: 175005"] I'm not sure if anybody else has had the issue Allen, i too was hoping that other Gibby owners would have chirped up after looking at their own but not up to now. I ended up not tightening up the centre two fixings as this really distorted the dish shape. Only by stringing the dish whilst assembling showed up the problem. I loosened off the centre bolts enough to enable me to squeeze in some good quality silcone to completely fill all the affected gaps and then tightened up the two middle bolts after two days or so after the silicone had cured properly. With stringing in place i tightened up onto the cured silicone to the point where distortion just started to creep in. I went overboard with strengthening the rear of the reflector to ensure it stayed in the right place & shape for Ka reception even in windy conditions. If the dish was only going to be used on strong Ku frequencies i would not have gone to those extremes. Edit: You can see more of this problem Allen if you scroll down this thread of mine ---- [SIZE=6][B]1.2 Precision / Octagon lnbf mod[/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
