[QUOTE="aceb, post: 756547, member: 268811"] Excellent stuff Pete, I can't get any further east than 20° on my 1.2 but the Ku 1m Gibby can get passed 60° so I may well invest in an offset scalar ring and mount. I've just noticed you had it installed using the PF scalar ring to begin with, did it make much difference changing over to the offset scalar? I can't help on the position of the scalar and LNB on an offset dish, on a PF the theory goes (according to [URL="http://www.chaparral.net/support/trouble/feedhorn.html#f/D"]a Chaparral site[/URL] I found last night) you set the back edge of the scalar against the mark that corresponds to the f/D ratio of the dish and the front edge of the feedhorn is set to the focal distance. Not sure if that can be translated into anything useful on an offset? [/QUOTE]
