[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 811492, member: 325666"] I have a meter wod ..but it simply wont lock and produce a picture from this transponder (dovevision) ...something it doesn't like about the signal ..which makes life a bit difficult.. However ..I persevered keep nipping indoors ..and half turns on a spannel re the declination adjustment ..and I now have this transponder locked in .. Signal varies wildley from 1db ..to full lock and pictures 7db.. Watching outside ..the only thing that _could_ possibly account for this is the thinly leafed tree in its path ..and the blustery gusts of wind moving it.. So yes ..even 37 west has fallen foul of Neils lack of height.. Lets hope the pole extension sorts things out.(ordered this morning) Had a word with a friend who knows someone with a mobile welder (MIG) So if I can make it fit ..and get it plumb ..I'll hopefuly be able to give the guy a shout and he can come round and run a seam round the overlap.. :) Given the info regarding 37.5 W ...I'm not surprised at all that RASD is out of bounds atm .. Maybe with a bit more height say about a foot ..I'll get more useable arc ...except for the direction of the Troublesme Tree ..during the spring and summer. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
