Hi, people! A week ago, I bought an original Invacom ADF-120 feedhorn and Invacom SNF-031 0,3dB LNB for my PFA dish Paraclipse Hydro, but I have problems aligning it. I couldn't get any signal at the weak transponders at all. For example, before installing the Invacom LNB and feedhorn, I was using Inverto BlackPro 0,2dB LNB without additional feedhorn. And I got 10dB SNR on 11836H 27500 3/4 transponder (Das Erste/HR/BW Sud/BW Nord/WDR Koln) on Astra 1H @ 19,2*E, which is the weakest transponder on that satellite in my area. I expected to get 12dB or more with the Invacom LNB and ADF but I couldn't get any signal from 1H at all. Do you have any suggestions what I'm doing wrong. Thanks and greetings from Bulgaria. :)

What do these graphs mean? MY dish f/D is 0,32; diameter = 228,6cm; focal distance = 74,23cm;

try to test all 4 ports - differences ?
try to see how It behaves at other bands and pols
you have to tune skew very fine for 1 H
f/d ratio - you need to move scalar ring at 5 mm back from barrel end
you can post pics to see your setup

It means screw the scalar ring on until there are 6mm of thread poking through.

Is the dish mesh or solid?

The dish is solid. Thanks for helping me and I will post some results after I align the feedhorn. :)
