[QUOTE="dave04321, post: 88031, member: 182850"] Hi. Thanks for the reply. The dish is an offset 1.2m E'star. The problem seems to be that the barrel of the feedhorn/polariser is corroded and leaks very slowly. Damp enters the assembly and a drip forms internally on the pin. So gradually over the space of a few days when its raining the signal disappears. I then need to go out and give the lnb a good smacking to get the drip to fall off, and alls then well again until the next time. Unless the drip has turned to ice.:rolleyes: Hardly satisfactory! I suppose the thing to check on your unit would be, lack of corrosion, barrel width, skew connection, and C120 flange. Then I'm sure we can come to an arrangement. I'm up near Inverness. [/QUOTE]
