[QUOTE="bubby-joe, post: 577401, member: 307458"] The one I had was so tapered that to align it in it's own scale ring would have been a nightmare. I swapped it for another lnb. I went with the BSC-621 way better finish quality and no problems with alignment in a chapparral scale ring, it also has 2 tension screws. You be careful with the C-band barrel on most of them is quite tapered making alignment very hard and don't forget you can't tighten very much you still need to rotate for the final skew adjustment to the Ku linear on your true south bird and you could still wind up with a misalignment. Try a hose clamp around the lnb to bottom out when you set the skew and keep the focal depth,skew and final dish alignment kind of makes me think I should have 3 extra hands but I know that would look weird. Another thing is to use tapered wooden tooth picks as temporary spacers to hold the alignment until all setup. You can't use the wooden plug or hockey puck idea on a chapparal c/Ku corotor as the little platic Ku skew control comes out to far but the plastic alignment tool worked because it didn't touch the lnb corotor combination [/QUOTE]
