[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 879479, member: 243342"] Alright ... it's more or less finished. Tried to fine tune it just now but it's very difficult with the changing clouds and a fickle Astra 4A transponder. Should be sunny later so will try and fine tune it slightly later, though I doubt I will gain much more. I am off about 0.3dB over what I had yesterday in fine weather on the same transponder. Also, when I put the C band LNB on the bracket, the LNB arm leans down very slightly, throwing the alignment off... The dish seems to be straighter than ever as there are no gaps at all between the strings. Perhaps it straightened itself out even more once it was up? [ATTACH]63233[/ATTACH] Very happy with my declination adjustment mechanism. It all feels very solid and the small jack has no problems driving the dish.
