[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 806474, member: 325666"] Beautiful clear day here today ...not sure tomorrow will be as good for Manchester ..but still Had a non adjustable ku pf feed lying around but is fixed for a shallower and smaller dish ..only 2 valleys as opposed to the 3 on the invacom adjustable scalar.. But with a bit of judicious application of file and emery cloth I made it fit neatly inside the first tapered ring of a naked inverto black ultra .. Friction being the only thing bonding the 2 halves together.. This was then lashed in roughly the right spot as the original offset black ultra ...as it will no longer mount in the cradle I made ..see pics.. So not even optimised ..just placed roughly and the elevation on Christina moved to accomodate the change in position .. et voila .. 14.2 db on BBC News 0.8W as opposed to 11.2 with the unmodified black ultra.. Is 15 db doable ??? I'd say an emphatic yes ...but will have to wait for the arrival of my invacom feed .. Hopefully Burnham Beech ..will get it in the post after the weekend.. Here are the pics.. Time for a nice cuppa now... ;) rgds VS [/QUOTE]
