[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 745002, member: 296628"] hi - paulvr - My first venture into C band was a couple of years go with a DMX-741U Combined C/Ku l.n.b. ----- this was a quite expensive mistake although the l.n.b. holder and conical feed has come in handy since --- (i,m using a 1.8 channel master offset by the way ) next i used a cheap Pauxis 900a h/v switching l.n.b. quite good all round results certainly better than the DMX was for C band then i used a second hand co rotor it came with a Gardiner 20k l.n.b. fitted -- i liked being able to adjust the skew for maximum signal although most sats seemed to not need much adjustment - this setup was equal to and sometimes out performed the Pauxis -- i then tried a BSC421 this notably out performed my previous setups and by using a home made "doctorofsat" style dielectric plate pushed the performance a little further i then bought a second BSC421 for linear transponders as i tired of taking the plate in and out - anything in the l.n.b. throat decreased the signal -- this applied to the co rotor too also as it has a particularly thick plate and would not pick up weak linear t.p.,s i,v recently made a further signal increase on both BSC421,s by tilting them back to a steeper angle than they were before compared to the K/U l.n.b. As part of my last USA order and just to satisfy my curiosity i purchased a BSC211 13k to try on the co rotor -- the results were poor -- it would not even see some very weak transponders that could be seen - "just" - on or above threshold with the Gardiner 20k in another thread - pride21 - has had good results on his SMW 140 offset dish using a ESX241 h./v. switching l.n.b. -- see here-- [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/c-band-reception-uk-europe/190629-testing-esx241-lnbf.html[/url] hope some of this info helps you decide which way to go next -- a pic below of my current setup on the old 1.8 channel master regards nelson.b.
