[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 742080, member: 325666"] ..sadly the answer is no ..Wod .. They all perform much the same ..ask Nelson for details You compromise C band reception ...and seriously compromise ku .. They tend to be sold for use in the USA ...where the dishes are refered to as BUDs ... They are usualy oversized ..so you start with a higher gain factor ..and the reduction due to the combo lnb ..then is acceptable. Ok .. So this is my first design for what I have called 'The Leech' .... Its organically grown from my bits box ... ;) Its nothing more than a mounted C120 feed at the moment ...but the throat is close to the the focal length of the dish ...and it sits clear of the C band feed... I took care to point it at the centre of the dish but this will need adjustment .. How much I'm not sure ... What effect it will have on the C band signals.. again ..no idea as yet .. But it is clip on ...so is removeable if it presents a problem .. Comments ...derisory or helpful ...are all welcome .. I'm in unknown territory with the leech.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
