[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 723051, member: 325666"] Hi Nelson .. Shakedown is terminology recently used by CH ...which I interpreted as ... ..a full check for alignment of the petals done with stretched string etc ... just to make sure the dish is performing at maximum effeciency .. A BIG job requiring its removal from the mount if any discrepencies are present. Not one I'm really up for at the moment ..so I just make do.. ;) You should definately go ahead with re-testing your alcoa ..but I would recomend obtaining a BSC421 ..even though it means shipping from the US .. Its by far the best lnbf out there I suspect ...and I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a BSC422 .. The same lnbf ..but dual unswitched outputs .. ie 2 lnbs in one package ..so I can feed both my receivers at the same time. It claims the same spec as the BSC421 ...so maybe worth the investment. both claim 13k ...so damned good .. very stable and high gain It puts the Pauxis to shame ... Just a pity no-one makes a 10k h/v switched lnbf .. They do exist but onlt as a single polarity lnb for mounting on a corotor feed etc .. Anyway ..should you decide to fire up the alcoa ...I'd recommend you get one of these first. I suspect fringe reception isn't possible without it ...ad of course the addition of the 3 ring scalar feed I borrowed from the corotor.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
