[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 842829, member: 310216"] The results below were taken this afternoon within 30 minutes of each other. I've tried to concentrate on fringe transponders to test the ability of the Octagon. The Octagon was adjusted and checked with my meter. (On the Laminas it peaked out roughly at mid point on the LNB neck) Black Ultra Octagon 7°W 12055 H No lock No lock 12226 H 7.3dB 6.1dB 11976 V No lock No lock 4°W 11570 H No lock No lock 10805 H 9.2dB 8.6dB 53°E 12642V 6.6dB 6.4dB 11005H 8.3dB 8.5dB 12717H 7.4dB 7.0dB 12633H 2.5dB (no lock) 0.3dB Although the Octagon seems to perform well it seems to fall just below the Black Ultra by comparison. I'll check again tonight and may swap the Octagon onto a couple of my fixed dishes in the multi sat set up in the next couple of days [/QUOTE]
