[QUOTE="Emm, post: 63590, member: 184306"] Thanks for the response Lancelot and Rolfw. Line of sight wise, the dish is mounted near the apex of a gable end to ensure clear line of sight over surrounding obstacles. As regards moisture ingress, I'd like to think that that's covered. I've used amalgamating tape on all three cable run connections (and even taped over the unused fourth on the LNB). I also sealed each cable's dielectric(?) centre with carefully applied silicone grease (filling the cavities) prior to fitting the F conns. When the 'installer' did the alignment, he was hardly up the ladder more than a minute, and a week later when checking his handywork, discovered that he hadn't tightened any of the u-bolts or adjustment screws.... Is it possible to achieve the strongest/best quality alignment with a cheap analogue meter/beeper? As I understand it these only indicate signal strength and not quality. Also, any thoughts about the adapter sleeve I mentioned it the first post? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
