[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1092763, member: 369937"] The two need to be at the same elevation or things like signal bounce can affect one but not the other, if you don't have an elevation meter or other device to measure the elevation on both then a string with a weight on the end and a simple protractor* can be used, if the two are off by more then several degrees then your looking at alignment problems. The one at the house is picking up something that the one at the shed is not. *Simple protractor.....https://www.inchcalculator.com/printable-protractor-download/ Female to female??? do you mean an "F" barrel connector? If this is the case then the two systems have a different coax setup, the "F" connector is adding additional signal loss at the house, also check the color of the "F" connectors internal insulation, if it's white then the connector is the wrong type for satellite work, the correct splice "F" connector should have a blue or green center insulator, this type will have less signal loss at the IF frequency's used in satellite work. (900 MHz to 2.5 GHz) The ones with a white insulator are only rated out to around 900 MHz and are used for TV or cable TV signals. [/QUOTE]
