Sensitive receivers. I have used a Konig receiver for many years. They appear to have vanished.

[QUOTE="mad mac, post: 1157949, member: 418205"] Sorry. a polar mount or fixed. ? I just have a two output Inverto LNB, with the biggest flange i could find. Probably too small. It sits on a huge pole.solid steel, about a foot across. It is also bolted to an old wooden house. ( house from 1800s, solid timber). I guess it is not a perfect parabola. To move it, i had to split the dish.! I re riveted it as well as i could. ran strings across it, and they all crossed in the centre. My location is almost at a null signal area, on the northern border of Sweden and Norway. No side lobes. At the moment I have more channels than i can ever watch. I am just worried in case my Konig dies. Some one suggested an Octogon SF 8008. i will have to look at it and see if it possibly works. I see a konig is on Amazon. I may just splash out. Out of interest, i have tried transmitting the signal from the old wooden house to my new house. Just not enough transmit power. I did think of investing loads of money on a professional fibre transmitter, but 4 or 5 k GBP, is just silly. I used to design radar seekers for guided missiles. And other stuff. But I no longer have access to fancy radio diagnosis equipment. A power supply, a scope , even an old analogue Avo, and good soldering irons. If the dish was close to the house, wonderfuBut thanks for the interst.l. no cable probs. But i had to locate it where it is not subject to wind, or the sight line blocked by huge trees. Fir pine and birch. [/QUOTE]
