[QUOTE="funtime261, post: 1118872, member: 414724"] I can't pretend that I haven't had to pop out with my Ibravebox sat meter a few times (mainly due to my ground mount being on a flagstone on soil rather than concreted in) . Usually to tweak alignment to weaker sats such as 3W but has been fine with stronger sats Thor, Hotbird, Astra etc. I have a light 1.1m generic mesh dish on another TM-2600 for day to day use so Gibby used mainly for feeds and recording whilst I watch another channel etc. TBH tweeking the dish is all part of the hobby and quite enjoy it! Deffo one for a ground mount though, wouldn't play withh Gibby up a ladder. Way too heavy and dangerous! :) So all in all yes TM-2600 and Gibby OP125L been working a treat overall and well happy! Saying that the EPL on 3W in West Mids is still a bit elusive (on the cusp can get them with break up sometimes)....more tweaking and LNB testing needed for Absat 3A! Been fine for feeds on 3.1E, 7E and 10E but then again so has my 1.1m mesh. Gain is better on Gibby 1.25 though pulling in a few dB more than the mesh 1.1. [/QUOTE]
