[QUOTE="petediscrete, post: 703947, member: 336641"] I assume the reference to a "deaf panel" was the fact that one panel on the dish wasn't receiving the signal as part of the complete dish and therefore was acting as a dish within a dish and hence the reason why you were picking 28 e in two different positions.From what I can gather you could pick up 28e with a wok and an lnb the beam is so strong.In structural engineering terms most load bearing beams are one complete casting without joins.The more joins there are in a structure the weaker the structure.I noticed 2.4m dishes on sale in Australia that are listed as one piece "commercial" dishes and now I know the reason why.Garyg, looking at the patterning on the back of the dish did you manage to reconstruct the dish as it was originally constructed.I am not familiar with your dish but it could well be that over the passage of time each section found its own bedding position and rearranging the sections could well account for the "deaf" panel.Have you seen the solidity of commercial uplink dishes.They need to be more accurate on their focal point as they are aiming at a more precise position.
