[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 46504, member: 175277"] The Patriot 3.8 dish should work fine in florence I believe, I know of a Patriot 3.8 mtr with dual tracking system with a 0.5 db lnb actually at one of our offices that has no such problems at a close to Rome location. During a recent visit the recieved signal on a old Grundig GSD 300 the signal was around 65 -85 % the side lobe performance on Astra 2D does however result in quite a large differnace in reception strength as seen above. Please do not forget to ensure that you support "5-6.5 inch pole is vertical, you have a very small beamwidth on a 3.8mtr satellite dish, and consequently it takes some additional effort to align correctly. Be patent during the installation and ensure equally to align the panels very carefully, it is possible to loose 3 db of signal very easy on a large dish during the installation, the 3db or so makes a very big differnace at your location when seaching for Astra 2D regards Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
