Triax 2o degree multi lnb

[gavw1]

I have a Triax TD88 (90cm) Dish with Triax 20 degree multi lnb.
I currently have 13e, 19.2e, & 28.2e. Which satellite would i be able to receive on this bracket with my forth lnb.

 

[satelliteman]

You should be able to pull in 9e or 7e and possibly... 5e.

Dish may have to be re-aligned depending on what satellite is on your focal.

focal sat is 19.2e. So would this work

 

[canofan]

at the edge, 5e is limit;
7e is also weak for non-central positioning.
but 23.5e is ok if one uses a slim lnb for it, as it may be too close to 28.2e and 19.2e.
9e is fine with a slim lnb because of proximity to 13e.
Td 88 is good to use with a bracket but I use one from Germany that has more adjustable holders.

 

[Robbo]

23.5E is fine, no need for a slim LNB on the TD88.

9E, may be OK, I have had it on a TD110 working very well, didn't have time to experiment too much on the TD88 as I was doing 23.5E instead, and needed to get it installed.

Which bracket do you use Canofan?

But with the Triax Dishes, I do not use it as they recommend.
I discard the main fixing slug. I slide the Triax holder in the arm with the central LNB fixed on it and then I use one of the new bracket holders around the central LNB. The bracket will then be situated on top of the LNB and not below as in the drawing. One can then fix and adjust all the other LNBs perfectly as the bases of the holders are quite slim.

Cheers mate,

Do you have a photograph of this assembled on the dish please, as I can't picture it.

 

[canofan]

I just took this picture from an assembly I am making for 16e, 9e, 5e, 1w, 5w and 8w,with 5e in the middle 11°to the east and 13° to the west.
If still not clear let me know.

 

[Robbo]

Ahh, thanks, I get the idea now.

But, is that the standard single LNB holder for Triax?

and how does the new holder get attached?

Is it still possible to raise and lower the LNB heights?

yes

and how does the new holder get attached?

On the central LNB

Is it still possible to raise and lower the LNB heights?

The LNBs remain individually tweakable

except for the central lnb because it is fixed directly to the arm and should be adjusted first.

 

[Robbo]

Oh yes, I understand now thanks, the new rod is attached using one of the new LNB holders to the central LNB itself.

I think I may get one to experiment.
