[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 982665, member: 325666"] Couldn't resist a bit more -indoor- tinkering .. connected up the second ESX which is offset by about 4 degrees from the focus .. This one has no plate and is for linear birds.. There will be a penalty to be paid for not having it at the focus ...but since the majority of DXing is circular ...this one is at the focus .. Not possible to use the centre lnb for linear even with the plate out ..on account it is rotated so that the electronics of the lnb is at the bottom .. So not at zero and not at 90 ... Not a problem in circular of course as this does not require the lnb to be plumb... Didn't get anything at first from the linear bird at 37.5W ... Then it dawned on me ..to change H to V .. Silverbird came in at 10db which isn't bad considering the linear ESX is offset ... Tomorrow I correct this error H & V ...but not going up ladders in the dark .. :D rgds VS [/QUOTE]
