[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 782299, member: 325666"] Whilst experimenting with the feed I recently constructed ...as a side project ...I decided to see just how many circular L/R polarised channels would actually lock _without_ any form of dielectric plate or depolarizing mechanism in place .. So an open throat ESX421 lnb with scalar feed on a 1.8 pf dish ...thus polarisation is irrelevant ...so left off the list. The lnb is therefore Skewless and could be placed at the focus in any rotation ..and H or V selected ..it matters not The DB values are those provided by the F15 ..the receiver used ....and should only be used as relative comparison levels.. What I can guarantee is that these channels listed are lockable without depolarisation on a 1.8 ...around Manchester UK This may be useful info for anyone thinking of experimenting ..or getting involved in C band ...and there are precious few of us in Blighty.. All the best for 2012 and good hunting ;) VS ..a final note worth adding I think .. This list was made and checked in thick cloud and drizzly rain conditions ...so more may be possible on a clear day..
