[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 925906, member: 176362"] The 0.1 / 0.2dB figures are all theoretical - they are measured at one point in the frequency response plots and of course are the best figure! Many of us here on the forum use the older Inverto Black lnbs and most of us have found them to perform very well indeed. When I started in the hobby I was using the then commonly available 0.6 lnb's - and they performed more or less just as well as the new ones you get today. I think Im still using at least one 0.6 lnb - I just sling up anything thats lying around in the spares box when I need another one! As for motors, well if your location is expose d then metal gears will probably last longer - a good gale can easily strip nylon gear teeth. HOWEVER, a suitably strong gale will break any motor...... As for underground protection, some narrow drainpipe would be ideal - and give you space t0 run more cable should you so desire in the future. Anything waterproof will do fine though - just make sure you dont stick a spade through the run! For the new pipe get something like gas pipe if you can - something with suitably thick walls that wont fold over in a gale. [/QUOTE]
