[QUOTE="s-band, post: 1031429, member: 407744"] To set this up I needed a Ku KNB with skew control. The Octagon single PLL LNBF is very light and I fitted it to the servo assembly that originally had a Ka LNB. It was easy to fix using self-tapping screws into the back of the Octagon's plastic case. RG6 or thicker cable is too inflexible so I used a short length of thin coax for the rotating part. If you want to scrape the last dB from a system, I highly recommend adding skew control, even with a polar mount. It is especially important when there are transponders on the same frequency on both polarisations. The LNB feeds are not always precisely orthogonal and there are small variations between satellites. [ATTACH]111858[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
