I'm not sure if there's a lip in the feed.
"The feed may be optimised for a lower part of the band than the desired English ones"
That's exactly why the installer insists I have to change the feed. He says back when this dish was sold the frequencies did not go that high, so we need a new feed...
Yes, Dish is aimed at 28.2.
Yes, in Athens, Greece.
No, I did not change it myself but the installer did with his meter.
As you can see from previous post photos the dish is not in great condition. Do you think I could do something to improve? like some fresh paint? is there anything that could...
He did adjust dish geometry but with the current feedhorn I don't think LNBs position closer/further from the dish can be done...the feedhorn has a guide that does not allow that. He used his meter to obtain max signal.
Edit: I have attached photos showing the guide of the feedhorn.
Initially, my dish had a huge rotator (General Motors) and to get better results, the installer adjusted it with a SAT-meter fixed on Astra 28.2. He tried a few channels before final fix.
Edit: Rotor was removed as you can see from the photo
@RimaNTSS
Thank you.
About the 50 degree feedhorn, I don't know either. My installer told me about it and also gave me this website:
Ku Band Feeds and Filters - ServSat Communications
May I ask what feedhorn do you use on the same dish?
Supposedly, my dish has been correctly aligned.
Thanks for your reply Chnnel Hopper:)
6 years? I didn't now it was that long. LOL
The installer proposed the following feedhorn models:
0800-1290 RX/TX
0800-513 RX ONLY
I could not find the 2nd model though.
Here are some photos I took a while ago.
Thank you again.
Hello forum,
I've been following this thread for some time as I have the NSC 18-1 dish with the narrow feedhorn that came with.
I was told by a professional installer that I need Prodelin Feed Horn Ku Band 50 Degrees. Not sure if this is the correct feedhorn for my dish, I would like to know...
