[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1102044, member: 415308"] Channel Master dish mount is in the middle and because the holes are square it is simple to rotate the dish in right angles. There is an extra 10cm 'width' when mounted at 90 degrees, the need to raise the elevation on the az/el will also account for some of the signal gain as it it less shadowed by the fence. Yes this is the aim. I wish to move the receivable arc further to the east. I don't need anything past 5 west on this dish, however more arc is always nice. A pendulum setup like this would be interesting to try: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/polar-mount-stabilisation.166004/post-935840[/URL] Moving the dish face across the front of the polar mount is the easiest thing to try first I think, about half a dish width. I already have 50mm x 50mm x 5mm thickness steel angle. Not needing past 5w should mean the lowering of the dish when moving to the west side caused by the extensions should be acceptable :) [/QUOTE]
