[QUOTE="IanW, post: 372981, member: 176464"] Hi Flexi, I think you are in the 'must try harder' area for Sirius-3. I do know someone who ought to have a definative answer, I'll ask. However, Thor-3 should be fine with a 1.8m, I have by sheer coincidence just measured the worst offending transponder (12054 H - trp.18) here (55 miles south of Jersey) and on my cheap 80cm with a 0.7dB LNB, it's +2dB C/N as measured on an IFR Spec.An. I should mention Thor-2 is no problem it storms in @ +12db C/N. BTW: A 1.8m antenna is best placed on the ground with it's mount cemented in. And as you must be aware from reading here not all antenna are created equal.:) Bonne Chance, IanW. [/QUOTE]
