[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 647755, member: 296628"] hi -- nice pictures of the proper C/Ku setups -- if i ever own a large prime focus dish -- that is the type of thing i would be fitting to it -- my - DMX741U - "IS" sitting on a shelf - :-rofl2 you asked -- quote -- Nelson_b I must have missed the thread about your use of a conical Scalar on a 1.8 m offset dish. Can you tell me if this device improves your signal over a flat Scalar? On 1.2 m CM offset many report no difference. the answer to that is yes . on my setup - 1. 8 channel master + pauxis c band l.n.b. the conical scalar is slightly better than the flat scalar --and certainly more suitable -- to get the good signal using the flat scalar - i had to hold it in mid air 3 or 4 mm in front of the mouth of the l.n.b --:) -- regards nelson.b [/QUOTE]
