[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 15070, member: 175144"] Its fine to remove the elbow (no probe, just a waveguide) but since the bolts holding it together are soft material with a funny secure locking head , plus painted with the rest, you may have trouble removing them on a second hand unit which has seen action. Additionally you will have to drill out the holes to remove the threads, ready for the LNB bolts Cal Amp are always good, however they have discontinued the older full band version, so what you have is probably the last of the line, dont drop it. The Corotor is probably the most lossy part of the system and if you do get an offset dish, be aware that the feed horn end will be sticking upwards (unless you install the dish upside down), and will let in water I would seriously look at fitting the Ku LNB on its own high efficiency feed (the one designed to work with the final dish choice) and stick the C band LNB to one side of the Ku feed [/QUOTE]
