[QUOTE="John, post: 992019, member: 175005"] ... As a bit of a departure from the normal 3.4GHz-4.2GHz barrels, i have four of these already, i thought i would knock something up to try on my extended Cband 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz lnb. I have tried it with the standard frequency size barrel and know what it will do so will be interesting to see if it can be improved apon by going a fraction smaller. Just using basic tools, cos thats all i has :( ive knocked up this bit of a cheapo thing using simple ali flat bar and some sticky back ali foil tape and a bit of 60.5 ID steel tube with 1mm wall. The step gap can be altered if required by shimming to fine tune if required.
