[QUOTE="rayhan, post: 987110, member: 409287"] Hi everyone, I'm from India. I've built a torus for myself, just for fun. I got it machined to avoid any deviation from the required shape. I made lnb clamps similar to what RimaNTSS made. I'm looking for only two satellites, ABS2 and GSAT. I'm able to point the dish towards either of the satellites but I'm unable to get signals from both the satellites together. Do note that I don't have any adjustment available for skewing the dish. The difference in azimuth is 40 degrees and elevation is 8 degrees. I figured a way to compensate for the difference in elevation. Let's say that a dish needs to be pointed at 70 degrees elevation, now if I point the dish to 75 degrees elevation and move the lnb linearly up from it's optimum position, I will be able to receive good enough signals. I tried applying this elevation phenomena to my torus. I was able to implement it, but only when I try to focus on a single satellite. If someone could give some suggestions as to how to tune for both the satellites together, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
