That,s a very good start @moonbase... is that with Your Precision 2.0m dish? ..... i,v given up with the 2.4 c.m. now this far north .... I did eventually reach my target here - 3834 H 6500 - (post 204) - with the - 3 m Prodelin - and was able to hold the lock at almost all times of day .... how is that transponder with you ?.
I am 1.9dB below the lock level for 3834 H with 7.5db at the moment, it needs a theroetical 9.4dB.
Perhaps with some Az/El/Skew tuning and some focal/scalar adjustments I might get it to lock.
The current LNB setup is a Titanium LNBF in a non polo pipe in order to get the feed rim opening aperture with options for changing the distance from the dish.
The Titanium LNBF on its own does not get within the desired forcal distances I wish to test, whereas in a non polo pipe I have adjustment scope.
I have a set of adjustable stainless steel feed support arms made by forum member Rima. At some point I might fit them so that I can eliminate the non polo pipe and use the LNBF directly in the feed clamp.
I will upload a few channel screen grabs before I start tweaking just in case I lose some of those I have with the tweaking.
In the past I have found that adjustment of the feed/scalar pair distances can bring in previously unlockable frequencies at the expense of some of those locked.
It's a reet queer game this C-Band malarky with this 38.0 East satellite.
