Is this dish ok?

[garyg]

i am now getting 67% on mbc (yesterday 50%)

So theres a big improvement already... more playing needed!

 

[garyg]

well i have done the best i can without a meter, just shy of 70% on mbc.

Was getting about 8% more on my 1.8m so i need rolf and his meter

 

[garyg]

72% on mbc. gone up abit.

Only 32% on the Ad sports TP atm

 

[garyg]

more tweaking, 74% on mbc and 35% on Ad sports transponder

 

[Robbo]

How much do you need on AD sports?

 

[Huevos]

MBC is Badr 4.

46% will give a stable picture. I was getting 48% on my 1.8m at the weakest times in the day, and about 54% this time of day. So still way down.

I think im at the limit of what I can do without rolfs meter not sure how exactly to start adjusting...

I am pulling EVERYTHING not on badr6 lol

i know mate. i got 85% mbc on my 1.8M so im still down 10%

 

[garyg]

cant seem to beat 74%/75% on mbc Why would the dish be 10% down over the 1.8m??

 

[Robbo]

I seem to remember your 1.8m being quite high, you are high enough I presume?

garyg, without stating the obvious don't forget the rain factor and the fact that you have to be kinda tired now.Off to bed, get a good rest and remember you are starting the day with all the bits and pieces you need.No waiting on brackets etc.Just the meter needed now.It will certainly be interesting to see the gain on the extra 0.6m dish.Not too many 2.4m installations on the forum so you are kinda the "crash test dummy".Good luck in the morning.

Just looking on dish pointer, when plotting the dish do you do it where the pole mount is on the dish or the part of the dish closest to the object? In my case the bottom...
