Praise the lord indeed ----

regards ---

...Hmm ..at least you logged it in ...
I figured it would be solid for you ...but I guess the F15 plus the wings are doing their job nicely ..
Solid locked here ...approx 6.2 db on the F15 ..which equates to roughly 62 Quality signal level 83%

NSS 7 @ 20° West - anybody in Europe receiving this?
First praise the Lord ... then align antenna to 20W.
Looks like 3M antenna needed here, close to Finland.
Global beam coverage America and Europe in C band.
But interesting channels and PowerVu keys available.

Right now, this is it in central UK .... not too strong but solid on a 1.8 CM Offset.

** Ignore the 24.5 W reference on the grab....

Was able to (just about) get these on my 1.5m Gibby

I still can ;)

Just to complete the post info on what was used to obtain circular apart from the 1.8 CM dish
It was the DMS lnbf + AV-Comm poloriser barrel + conical scalar.

I'm still not 100% sure which lnbf performs the best with the barrel + conical scalar.
Pic shows when Titanium lnbf was being tested a month or so ago.
I did gain an extra 1/2 dB when trying a cone scalar on the end of the barrel which was a bit of a surprise, weather is a lot warmer now so will do a bit more swapping around to get to the best final configuration.

Have you much more to do with the 1.8 install CJ

Ok here for me too this morning .... on 1.8. c.m. offset - despite crappy weather

Everything... lack of time is the prime reason for it. With summer on the way(?), I am hoping to speed up the process a bit.

Latest update: Channel Master 1.8m project

Have you guys tried this on a 1.2 meter dish I wonder if this would help me out with my minibud? Any thoughts?

Hi -
i,v not tried on smaller than 1.8 as i,m not setup for C band on a 1.2 at the moment ....
the MTN Worldwide TV channels. transponder 4128 R is listed as being on the Global footprint/beam so maybe possible ?
i was getting around 5.0 db the other day ... i notice it has just 1/2 f.e.c.... and if i take the dish out of alignment it will still hold a lock as low as 1.5 db

Iv'e not tried it on anything smaller than a 1.8 either Dan but i'm sure somebody has on the forum in the past

John what size pipe did you use for that feedhorn dimensions. The barrel part.

Can't remember the exact I/D or O/D off the top of my head Dan, i'll do some measuring on a spare one i have in the workshop tomorrow (11pm here now).
It's not just a barrel tho as you probably know as you can see by the internal view of it on the pic. Was you thinking about reproducing one ?.
