[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 1134321, member: 296628"] O.k. - Results here . Using the AV-Com with "all" my l.n.b.f ,s (six in all ) would not not lock either of the sports transponders .... the only l.n.b. i tried that would lock them was a Gardiner C95-33 block type single polarity l.n.b and feed barrel - see pictures - [ATTACH alt="Gardiner 1.jpg"]144550[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="Gardiner 2.jpg"]144551[/ATTACH] i got decent db level locks on both sports transponders (comparable to original setup ) - but - l.o.l. ..... not with the same l.n.b depth position - to compromise and get both locking with similar db levels (was not easy ) and reduced them both by up to 0.5 db ... which then made both of them a rather marginal lock. - also the FS 123 transponder was overall the weaker of the two with this setup - the opposite of my original BSC + plate setup ?. With stand alone l.n.b.f,s + "vipersan" plate i managed to lock ESPN on all of them- with varying d.b levels some only just into lock - except the Zinwell which is a different design and will not fit the plate - (it would not lock using its standard plate). the best of the bunch - were the Titanium and the BSC - the difference between those two was marginal. Overall though, these two sports transponders are not easy to catch and hold at my location on a c.m. 1.8 offset dish and both transponders become marginal and prone to short signal losses at certain times of day - the loss of signal issue seems more exaggerated with the AV-comm setup even when each transponder is separately tuned to its maximum, as both were lost completely for an hour or more this morning.
