[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 742086, member: 296628"] l.o.l. -- that sums it up nicely :) with the k/u leech -- when i was experimenting - just with k/u on the alcoa i found that on the " strong sats " almost any C 120 - original or home made , worked fine -- when just bolted on to the alcoa,s original feed tube with no scalar/ feed . but to get the best results on weak t.p.s it needed a feed, and after spending many more hours than i should have done on it - i ended up with the l.n.b - tube - and feed-- that is in the picture i posted this afternoon -- the feed is a invacom ajustable feedhorn with the threaded centre cut out so that it would fit over the alcoa,s k/u tube the position of the feed on the tube is -- critical - its very sensitive to the slightest adjustment on weak signals -- but as i got very good results in the end - i felt it had been worth it regards nelson .b. p.s like the clip on arrangement ------ [/QUOTE]
