[QUOTE="kamaleon, post: 587014, member: 198507"] Hi there. The raven zone 2 dish is roughly 76cm x 57cm (according to their official specs). Your arcon multi is probably a very good dish, and I believe should somehow match, or even outperform the raven, with the right lnb. There's not an awful lot that would fit it, either the mti ap8-tw or the inverto single / twin (as I'm sure the invacom wouldn't fit it right) and this are meant to be the top performers. I don't think it would match an 80cm transparent dish, though, but it's definetly smaller!! My 80 transparent dish is 80cm x 85cm so that's a big difference from 57cm! With a very good lnb the clear dish should still beat the arcon multi, in some marginal situations like what you seem to be experimenting on digitalb, it will probably give that extra cms that are the difference between having no image at all and having a stable one. And yes, it would collect less snow or hail, which isn't a negligeable factor. Apart from that, the arcon sounds like a lovely piece of technology, with probably unbeaten performances sizewise, apart from a fibostop 55cm gregorian :D Make sure you're motor / poles / elevation on the dish are correctly adjusted, sometimes some (fractions of) millimeters can make a HUGE difference! Last week I took my motorised setup down (moteck + clear 80cm dish) and tweaked it like mad and now I'm getting 42°E, 16°E is coming up much stronger, so does 7°E, and I'm even getting 39°E which I had never got to lock before! So make sure everything is well aligned, check for skew, and you might be able to squeeze some more signal. Anyway, congratulations for your setup, it's brilliant!
