[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 801769, member: 325666"] ...Well friends ..I hadn't been able to lock this one since saturday.. Reasons ..I assume these include the removal for adhesive aluminium strip and gelcoating of 2 more panels (4 now complete but for the final ivory spray paint coat)...and thus focus might have changed ...plus I was using the Doctor of Sat plate ..which is exceptional but requires adjustment and tuning .. So with the 2 plates refitted ...I tried again .. No lock signal hovering around 3.5 db (F15) .. I felt a bit deflated after such an achievement ...but not one to give in I dug out my original T plate and swapped out the DOS plate ..which _did_ lock on saturday around 4.5 - 4.6 db Swung Christina to 18 west ..and bang ...instant lock at a superb 4.8 to 4.9 db Solid as a rock. My theory fwiw ..not that the T plate is outperforming the DOS plate ..but the extension outside the LNB throat is more _forgiving _ of the innaccuracies of the extension wings ..and thus gathers /funnels more signal at these LSR levels to the LNBs electronics. No tuning ..no fiddling ...just compromised and maximised signal gathering. Its just a theory ..but one I believe has some credibility ..and have long believed this to be why it works so well. Here are 3 pics to show the dish as it currently is ...plus Canal 3 Niger at 4.8 db ..occasionally pulsing to 4.9..or even 5.0 rgds VS [/QUOTE]
