[QUOTE="pat_mustard, post: 852144, member: 401173"] As far as Im aware its 90cm, possibly 80cm....I was given it for free and never thought to measure it :eek:. Thinking about how big it looks Id say its more likely to be 90cm. I have only tried the satellites mentioned previously so far.....previously I was unable to get any satellites without manually re positioning so I followed the logic that If I have a signal on the sat finder at 0.8w, and I can lock on to Astra 1+2, hisposat and hotbird without having to repositon the motor, the set up should be ok. I accept this logic could well be wrong though! As for signal readings, on the sat's I can lock onto seem to be high 80's or 90+%. I tried the BBC world transponder which I found on a list of strongest channel/transponder's for all the satellites. I have not tried 23.5 yet. Im not at home tonight but will try again tomorrow.
