[QUOTE="canofan, post: 520041, member: 259756"] Hi Hans, When I first set up the 140 dish it was equipped with its own LNB holder, a pf feedhorn with scalar rings and a 2 output SMW lnb(WDL1000-E) capable of switching horizontal and vertical but lows and highs separate outputs. The LNB holder was useless because it did not have adequate provision to skew the LNB or to bring it forward and backward in order to adjust for f/d. So I ordered a GTSAT PF Universal LNB that came with its own 40mm LNB holder and a better boss, with its own scalar rings feedhorn all in one piece. The dish is not warped. This allowed me also to test a friends prime focus LNBs both the FUJI and the MTI and all three LNBs tested abysmally bad. So I removed the dish and replaced with a triax 110 and a GTSAT universal diamond series GTSAT40D and this gave me good results. I shall measure the rods and let you know. If you lost the LNB holder, buying the GTSAT, the MTI or the FUJI PF LNB will provide you wth the holder and a good boss. Alternatively you could buy the LNB holder and boss and feedhorn as a kit from satellitesuperstore. What I did not like about the fixing of the rods to the dish and to the holders are the wood screws and plastic plugs. I needed to make 45° spacers in order not to bend the holder, the original holder did not need the intervention. PS: The rods are 70cm 10mm eloxed aluminium tube. I made the spacers out of 10mm aluminium tube [/QUOTE]
