Sat Dish - Focal Point

[BrianWheatley]

Hello,

I have a 144 inch dish, with 24 inch depth. According to the Focal Length calculation (D*D/16*d)
I should have a focal length of 54 inch.
However the current set up has Feed legs that mount the scalar rings to 58 inches.
A 4 inch offset is huge when dealing with microwaves.

I am scratching my head why it is 4 inches off.

Has anyone heard of this before??

Ps- sorry for the imperial units... the Americans have brain washed me

Hi! Welcome to forum.
Manufacturers not always do their job perfectly. Try to move scalar rings closer to dish and observe whether signal increases.
And shoe some pictures of your dish.
