[QUOTE="sycron, post: 604313, member: 318607"] Yes. I used the parabola calculator. The focal distance is 87.5cm I am not sure if that 87.5cm should hit the white cap edge. Or should I like make the lnbf distance 86.5cm for instance. So I know that the beams actually enter the feedhorn. Or is just touching the lnbf cover alone? I am still not sure about the cold galvanize spraypaint to use as metal shield. I tried to measure resistance over the dish surface. Did not measure any conductivity. Isn't it supposed to be? I was searching on google for RF microwave shield materials. There is conductive paint for instance. [/QUOTE]
