I have an 80cm Triax dish focused on 19.2E with Inverto Green, and another Green offset (touching) for 23.5E/Astra3 / Sony TV.
I can get good signals on the Europe Wide beam (eg REBEL, 12012 MHz) but am struggling with the Europe/Germany beam, eg radio stations at 11681 MHz. I know it's going to borderline here in SE London, but the odd thing is the type of problem: not just a weak signal, but how changeable it is. It can peak at 50% "signal quality", usually 20-40%, but varies every few seconds, with periodic dropouts to 0% which make it unusable. I would expect some variations in bad weather, wind or bursts of interference, but this happens reasonably regularly every few seconds on a fine, still day.
Of course I have tried to tweak the skew, LNB position but have not yet found anything to stop this changeability. Does anyone else see this effect, or could postulate a cause?
