[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1080349, member: 178786"] Thanks Nelson. I did a bit of fine tuning of the Az/El and polarity skew to squeeze the last drop of juice from the signals. It was after the fine adjustment that I got a lock on 4081 V (ATV Pakistan) which I had never managed before. I noticed that the feed/scalar pair distances for the 9 different frequencies that I locked had only a small pattern. It looked like the scalar distance of 5mm to 15mm was the optimum but not a hard and fast rule. I think that with some of these extreme fringe satellites like 38.0 East each frequency might have its own optimum parameters? The solution is a larger dish or a more favourable location for the beam footprint. If you centrally locate the C-Band feed arrangement on your 2.4m dish it will be interesting to see what results you get, particularly any variance in signal levels from feed/scalar pair adjustments. I found that Samaa TV and Madani are easiest frequencies to lock, they always seem to be present any time of day and can both tolerate a lock of tweaking before losing a lock. [/QUOTE]
