[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 1134634, member: 296628"] I,v been playing with AV-com / polo pipe on the 2.4 c.m. today ... and at least i,m getting locks on the two tricky sports transponders using l.n.bf,s with it this time - (something i could not achieve with the 1.8 c.m.) ..... The AV-Com is good once the optimum settings are found for it - position - scalar - and l.n.b. depth ..... Something i,v noted with the AV-Com is differences with different l.n.b brands on it .... The Titanium was the most stable and gave good signals on both sports transponders with only a small depth adjustment between the two - so a compromise could be reached , losing a little bit of strength from each .... A couple of others i tried were similar, but with a wider depth setting difference and so not a very good margin when a compromise was reached The Zinwell will lock both transponders quite nicely - but with widely different depth settings, so no compromise there (lock one - lose the other ) ... My trusty BSC however will lock ESPN nicely once peaked .... but stubbornly remains 1.5 db under lock on FS123 no matter where it is positioned - .... not the first time i,v had issues with the BSC /AV-Com combination - there is a thread i started on the forum somewhere in the distant past about this combination not seeing certain random frequencies ? Again, as with my tinkering on the 1.8 the other week the best result was with the Gardiner single polarity - block l.n.b. +feed but it still had to have a small depth compromise but held both sports transponders with a good margin As mentioned by various members in posts 265 - 270 , it seems the way to get the "very best" from an AV-Com / PoloPipe - on weak /borderline signals is with a mechanical remotely controlled l.n.b. depth adjuster. :-) [/QUOTE]
