Sky & Freesat fringe reception
Would a gregorian CM180 make any difference in H/V fringe reception?

[QUOTE="archive10, post: 769845"] Hi everyone, have been thinking for some month on ways to improve 2D reception here. In Scandinavia (disregarding the west of Denmark), the verticals are the problem. Even with a decent dish, the verticals still are prone to pixellation and the occasional drop-out due to rain or whatever it is. It would (to the optimistic eye) seem that clarification of verticals would be good. I have read with great interest that Gregorians have the beneficial trait of rectifying some of the muddling of polaristaion on a dish. Which makes them especially good for Tx/Rx dishes. But would that be of benefit to us vertically challenged people (polaristion-wise, that is) :D Had a chat with the folks at Skyware recently. it turns out that CM180 comes in a gregorian version too. I could make one out of one my CM180s by getting a new mount and feed assembly. (Which would turn it from a type 180 to a type 184, I have learned!) Would this make any difference to verticals reception on 2D, do you think? [/QUOTE]
