[QUOTE="drhans, post: 928355, member: 333600"] Hello lovelyperson, I'm glad to have found your signal measurements for 40.5 W! I've just set up my old FortecStar 240 for 40.5 West. The dish is quite deformed and twisted as it's fallen to the ground couple of times in the windy weather but I'm still able to lock a couple of transponders. What I'm wondering is what dish size would I need to achieve the same results as I now get with this low quality dish. To give you an idea about the signal levels, here's what I get on the 3 Fox transponders: 3712 L 10400 ... 8.2 dB (solid lock) 3725 L 10000 ... 12 dB (solid lock) 3735 L 7400 ... 6.4 dB (picture breaking up) What I'm hoping for is that a good quality 180 cm dish could give me the same or slightly better results but after reading this thread, I'm a bit surprised that your 1.8m dish is delivering quite low signal and both 3725 and 3735 seem to be on the edge. Did you manage to imrove the signal since the original posts? By the way, did you try receiving 43W? Thanks [/QUOTE]
