[QUOTE="Ghostleader, post: 987394, member: 322875"] Duff (bad) quality cable can be a problem though shortening it may help if on a budget it may be better to replace it altogether. I had quickly made up a scrap bit of cable just Thursday there to use as a patch lead between my meter & dish whilst I was up the ladder realigning my motorised dish, it was just five metres long and I was surprised to see vastly (more than 10% quality reading loss) on my meter versus the longer run that was running into my house. My money is still on slight misalignment though with your situation mate as said by others, I put this forward just as an possible contributing factor. The piece of scrap coaxial I used for the patch lead for reference was double screened aluminum type, I.e. Aluminum braid (32 strand I'd say, not 64) Aluminum foil (Non poly cr@p) on a foam insulated copper clad steal 1mm conductor. Sent from my thl_T7 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
