[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1134585, member: 178786"] As indicated by [USER=191372]@scopus[/USER] in his reply, if you try the cheapie Chinese LNBF as it is in the polo pipe without cutting it will give you a comparison between using a dielectric plate and the polo pipe. Once you see how that comparison stacks up you can take a view on cutting away some of the barrel of the cheapie Chinese LNBF. If the cheapie Chinese LNBF has a slight lip on the rim at the opening aperture you might need to file it off to get it to fit inside the polo pipe, it just depends on the O/D of the LNBF and the I/D of the polo pipe. I had to use some wet and dry paper to remove some of the paint from the barrel of one of these LNBF's to get it to fit as well as filing away the lip on the end. If you abrade away too much and it is flapping about it the pipe you can always shim it with some thin aluminium tape. [/QUOTE]
