[QUOTE="s-band, post: 996683, member: 407744"] It think that the petal alignment is quite good. I used drifts to align the holes and a flat edge to make sure the front of the petals were level. Boresighting is worthwhile. Further evidence that the regulator is not good. Have you taken the lid off to see what it uses? It might be worth adding your findings to this thread: [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/norsat-3220-c-band-lnb-warning.170191/']Norsat 3220 C band LNB Warning[/URL] Hmm, I wish my Zinwell was like that. I still need to do a sky/ground noise test to confirm it is duff. Back to Paksat 1R. I was wondering about the variations noted on the TV sigs so I left the tracking RX on 3702.9H for a few hours. The beacon level stayed within the error range of the RX (~+/-0.3dB ) Unfortunately I wasn't able to leave it running for a full 24hrs. I'm not sure I'll do much more with the Fortec. It's getting in the way a bit now and I want to use the space to do stuff on the other 2 dishes. I'd like to move it around the front of the house, where it could "see" the western sats. However, the path is blocked at the moment. [/QUOTE]
