[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 808353, member: 325666"] ... Far from perfect CJ .. The signal listed as 10 east is very small indeed ...but I stress I only suspect its 10 East.. The signal listed as from 3 East is actually lockable and confirmed to be 3 East ..so yes ..in this case it is definately seeing at least 2 degrees to the west.. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that C band signals are wide spread ..covering approx 5 degrees of arc. Not just since the wings were added.. I'd noticed this back in the days when Christina was just a 1.8 it often taking between 40 and 50 vbox clicks to completely 'lose' a channel ( 20 clicks each side of centre) ...though lock dissappeared more rapidly Compare this to ku on the same dish where it takes only 3 to 4 clicks east or west of centre to lose the signal. C band is a strange beast ...an the bigger the dish ..the tighter the beam.. which just one of the reasons BUDs perform best. I did comment recently that 5 east was too close to 3 East for 'clean' testing in C band.. I still hold to this. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
