[QUOTE="Archive4, post: 963707"] Finally had a chance to play with the new big girl! Laminas 1.8 that is! She is good on direct line, over 1 - 1.5 dB better than the Famaval 1.8 pf when aimed direct at the satellite, but, like her little sister seems to have problems finding the " sweet spot " for 28.2 -5. Direct lock on either satellite is great, but finding the happy medium to get all together is very difficult to say the least. Can gain over 1.5 db on 11097 V when aimed direct, but a slight nudge to improve 10818 V gives total loss on 11097 V. For now, have settled with 12.9 dB on 11097 V and 11.2 dB on 10818 V, which is 1.5 dB up and 0.8 dB down respectively. Had the same problem with the 1200 P Laminas which was a problem on the fixed mount , but works fine on the motor. I blame the lower support arm, but could be wrong. Cannot wait for CJ to set his up to see what he finds. Will play more soon, and update! [/QUOTE]
