[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 896528, member: 325666"] OK ..couldn't resist trying the 2nd Ka lnb ..the one closest to the focus.. it required stepping the dish to the East by approximately 30 clicks ...roughly 3 degrees .. then I rescanned for Unire .. As expected the signal level had increased in the LHCP scan from 9.7db to 11.1 db .. That's massive in Ka .. But makes the possibility of using the new SL3 as is ..a real option ...and maybe even better for linear once the Septum is removed.. To use the other lnb simply switch on the 22khz tone then scan again.. rgds VS If this works ..I _should_ be able to cover Ka bandsA and B in reduced pseudo linear ...and Ka bands A and B in Circular ..plus the added bonus of part of Ku in circular as some russian birds do.. ..all from one SL3.. nice :D From your point of view Llew .. If you can get it mounted at the focus ..the signal levels should increase substantially ...and might even lock Newsnet without a problem.. I'm close even with it offset several degrees.. [/QUOTE]
