[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 896713, member: 325666"] You may or may not find this curious Llew .. I'm having trouble locking ITV Newsnet control room feed on the modified SL3 .. but only on the F15 .. Solid lock around 9.7db using the TBS card ..?? I have however managed to lock that news feed that I posted earlier up a photo of earlier using the TBS card ....on the F15 ? it is HD and 8psk ..and somewhere in Wales ... They have been there on and off ALL day ..lol Now .. Even though the sig level is 9.7 on the newsroom feed it simply wont lock on the F15 since the septum was removed.. I find this VERY curious ...and makes be think maybe there IS something odd about the polarity. Which we assume to be Linear.. I once posited there may be an element of circular polarisation in the mix .. OR ...maybe it is linear ..but on an angle ..ie not level.. You have in past commented that you couldn't get a picture using the Norsat ..even though you thought you had adequate signal..? Now the modified port is receiving True Linear ..much like a Norsat ...I too am having trouble ..but wasn't last night ..pre septum removal. Curious is it not.. Time to try the Norsat on a tilt perhaps ..? Not that this would help if as I suspect ..there is a circular element to the Newsnet signal...and that being why the Unmodded SL3 copes better.. In short .. Don't remove your septum ..you may need it.. lol Septum being 'nasal' bridge.. So ..when it arrives ..don't cut off your nose to spite your face.. ;) ..just ordered a second SL3K4NR1 .. This one will be left untouched Thought I'd get in quick as he only has 5 left.. [/QUOTE]
