[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 757745, member: 296628"] hi- aceb - your results with the v.s. plate were ok , i thought --- i also was playing around with my C band setup yesterday - trying to fine tune and just get a little more out of it -- and i dont know if it was just local weather conditions or what, but c band reception seemed down generally here yesterday - weak signals from a number of sats were struggling to lock that i normaly can get and some channels just would not come in at all . -- i gave up on it in the end. --- and will try again another day :) i,v had good results last year with d.o.s. plates - especialy with the cheapo pauxis l.n.b. that i was using then , and earlier this year with the BSC 421 . the dos plate that worked best in the pauxis - was a different plate to the one that worked best in the BSC421, -but currently the plate giving best all round results ( on weak signals ) on the BSC421 - 1.8 offset combination , is the v.s. style plate i made a month or more ago . but the more i,v played around with my own setup, and noted other peoples results with theirs , -- the more it seems that each dish l,n,b, setup is quite uniqe - esecialy with smaller borderline sized dishes and requires individual tuning with whatever- plate - feed - l.n.b. - dish - setup is being used . and it just takes time and experimentation to find what is best for your own . i,m quite puzzled at the moment over the 3 recievable transponders at 1 west - the other week when i was trying C band on a 1.2 channel master offset i could get the ERTU transponder ok - and even see the signal ( just below lock ) on the AFN t.p. -- but not a sniff of the BBC one ?? On the 1.8 dish the BBC - t.p. is notably the strongest of the three and locks and works just fine :confused: regards nelson.b. [/QUOTE]
