[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1053332, member: 369937"] Oh one more thing, back in my 7 GHz days testing for TV up-link to the transmitters I found that some microwave signals did not like the color green, I found this out when one of the secretary's at work walked between a test setup wearing a green dress.(green leaves can cause signal loss) The test data print outs looked funny, random drop outs in the signal strength, I thought it was due to people walking in front of the receive dish, (very low power tests) but found that not to be true, until she walked in front of the dish, the signal dropped out.(receiver muted due to too low a signal) Others were walking in front of the dish(it was online with the walkway to the break room) and did not cause a dropout, only her, she was wearing a green dress, the next day she was wearing a pink one, she did not cause a drop out then. So back to your problems, it could be that your choice of colors on the dish (green??) may be affecting the signals in some way, try some flat gray primer, see if I am wrong. [/QUOTE]
