[QUOTE="John, post: 1064360, member: 175005"] To finalise - Motorised Prodelin polariser project now finished and working very well. Due to better matching of the feed to lnb and also the really well made and finished Prodelin polariser it has gained just over 1 dB across the normal range 3.6 to 4.2 GHz but has gained at least 1.5dB on the 4.5 to 4.8 GHz section of the band which is a real bonus for me with this Elite 2.2 at these extended frequencies. So, pics of servo bracket made, strip down of the AV-Comm barrel install, Polariser alignment paying great detail to accurate positioning, temp rain cover made from an empty ice cream container ( i did say this was a cheap and cheerful build) & finally the finished article back on the dish. Final final scalar plate tweak to do another day to get the final final sweet spot using the analyser. All exposed and even non directly exposed parts given two coats of plastic sealer spray for added weather protection. ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
