[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 722268, member: 325666"] Thanks for the reply Futumsh... You have confirmed what I already believed .... and yes ..my 1.8m baby is equipped with a ring polar mount .. As shown in the assembly manual part 7 of this thread ...which I think you have already seen ;) _http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/picture-members-setups-general-satellite-installations/184816-unknown-dish-re-assembly-anyone-recognise.html So since the lnbf was indeed set absolutely upright/zero @true south ... I'm assuming thee would be nothing to gain by any skew setting at 58W ( my absolute extreme limit) and in light of the fact there is a more or less flat response for a few skew degrees with a Cband lnb ..Then I couldn't hope to tweak a couple more dbs from the tricky old birds at 55 and 58W.. Looks like the only way I can grab anything extra now is in increase in dish size ..as mine is now practically 'optimised'.. cest la vie.. I'f only I could find a set of those elusive 'add on petal extensions' for my 'baby'... thanks again rgds VS ;) [/QUOTE]
