[QUOTE="John, post: 1005619, member: 175005"] Needed something to do to pass the time whilst waiting for summer ... Well, for Ka use, decided to alter the physical shape of a SL3 DirecTv lnbf but leave it completely unmodded internally so that the output F connectors didn't hit the changer bracket when it was bought up to focus position. It would be more useful on the changer for any circular pol stuff in band A&B or if anything becomes active on Nigcomsat @42.5° East. Basically, just hacksawed the row of F connectors off and sealed the holes, drilled the case and hard wired a short fly lead to it that will go to a spare way on the diseqc switch. Checked output on analyser before and after butchering it & all ok. A few pics of work so far, will install it on changer shortly. [/QUOTE]
