[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 789014, member: 301161"] 80cm (measured horizontally) is too small for that satellite. In the section between 10950 and 11200 it works ok and returns about 10dB MER, but in the section between 10700 and 10950 an 80cm dish is not big enough to filter off the noise from 26E and 30E and that results in a drop in MER to 7.5dB and worse on certain transponders at certain times of day. Personally I'd recommend a 100cm dish as the absolute minimum for this area. [/QUOTE]
