[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 862444, member: 310216"] The weather was pretty good this morning so I got on with the comparison testing using my motorised 1.2M Laminas dish and the DrHD F15. Again I tried to make the swap between the Black Ultra and the Opticum as quick as possible to retain similar weather conditions. There was certainly less than an hour between readings. I chose to use what for me are fringe satellites and weaker transponders thereon. 53E 12717H Eritv 2 BU 7.4dB....Opticum 8.1dB 26E 12437V Alrayyan HD BU 5.6dB....Opticum 5.3dB 4W 11570H CNL Ukraine BU 6.8dB....Opticum 0 dB 7W 12226H Gear One BU 5dB....Opticum 5.3dB It's clear that the Opticum Quad does indeed perform better than the Black Ultra [I][B]on certain frequencies. [/B][/I]I'd hazard a guess that for fringe reception of 28E it would help with some transponders (I think I've seen CH5 mentioned on other forums) and that it may be particularly suited to dishes over 1M in size, though perhaps not those where a matched feedhorn is recommended. I'll recheck the results for 4W later as I'm not sure if those channels cease broadcasting at a certain time, though I doubt they switch the TP off. I will test the Opticum on the small dish I have set up for 28E too, though obviously I don't experience a problem with that satellite. [/QUOTE]
