[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 62198, member: 175277"] Yes but it is not so simple to keep to the maintain the same shape or surface level - please remember that the shape of an offest dish is very complex. The actual filling of the holes will not make any real differnace as a Ku band signal is approx 2.50 mm which means the signal does not pass through the 1.0mm holes. This was not refering to the hole filling but that of the improvement in the suface tolerance of the whole dish. This would require complex geometrical software and a Co-ordinate measuring machine etc to achieve this level of improvement. reletively as above the holes are not important as long as they are consistant and not above 2.5 mm in thier size. If you are still interested then work with the dish as you suggest and see what happens. There are several books on dish design and effeciency - may be would be a good investment if you wish to understand further. regards Old satellite [/QUOTE]
