[QUOTE="franksanderdo, post: 746597, member: 357262"] Hi lnb15k I have done some trials with secondary refeloctors on one of my dishes and found the following: 1. You can improve a little a poorly focussing large dish. 2. It is some effort as you have to find the best "focus" of the large dish, and than produce a secondary fitting to that. 3. producing the secondary is far easier than the primary as it is much smaller 4. It helps a lot if you can adjust lnb distance to secondary dish for refocusing. As my primary dish (1.4m) was prodicung in best position a 8cm diameter and 3 cm long focuspoint I did the trials with a 12cm secondary. As the secondary has to have opposite shape I one of those wide range mirrors you can stick to you mirror on the car. With that I improved the signal appr. 5%. See you around Frank [/QUOTE]
