[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 1093357, member: 296628"] Hard to believe that its over 4 years since i dismantled and stored this dish away. Anyway as iv not been able to get out much - or travel far this spring because of Covid lock-down restrictions etc - so i put some time into restoring and re installing this monster again ... on a movable platform this time so i can move it to different parts of the yard to get a look at satellites previously not seen by this dish. After tinkering with a few C band l.n.b,s that i have here - it seems that the Zinwell is favorite (for linear transmissions ,at least) by quite a margin. I used Paksat at 38E for initial fine tuning, as it has many different transponder strengths. A few pics enclosed here taken a month or so ago ... Not very good at documenting my projects - much prefer to be out there tinkering. :-) [ATTACH]131865[/ATTACH][ATTACH]131866[/ATTACH][ATTACH]131867[/ATTACH][ATTACH]131868[/ATTACH][ATTACH]131869[/ATTACH][ATTACH]131870[/ATTACH][ATTACH]131871[/ATTACH][ATTACH]131872[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
