[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 928772, member: 325666"] I have tried many times to disprove the effectiveness of my T plate design .. but I cannot .. It always ...at least for me...gives about 1db extra sometimes more over a standard 'untuned' plate .. The only other design which also gives extra performance is the Doktor of Sat plate design + variations ..but this appears to be tuned giving improvements in performance in specific areas of the C band spectrum...where as mine is a flat gain improvement accross the spectrum. Hope this helps you decide.. My experiences were born out by NelsonB who saw much the same improvements. but it appeared more effective on larger dishes. 1.5 mtre and above rgds VS My theory ..fwiw..is that the T plate matches the lnb feed better on some dishes by sort of sticking out a tongue into the space above the lnb throat .. catches and funnels extra signal into the feed throat .. Signal that might not make its way in otherwise particularly on a bad offset feed/dish match. It cant produce more signal than is there ..but simply catches and therefore converts more.. hope that makes sense.. [/QUOTE]
