Just Sharing This My Channel Master 1.8 project.

Not yet mate. I'll try when new lnb arrives as it comes with dielectric plate . However. I fear that I will have the interference issue . Not holding out much hope .

ESPN from 40.5W was OK with a stable lock last time I tried it using a Titanium LNBF in a polo pipe, picture below.
Them polo pipes are reet tasty, way better than a dielectric plate for circular polarity in C-Band,, nice boost on the signal level.

no mate - as i've stated before - it happens direct from LNB to signal meter (which has in built TV viewing)
 
I got a Zinnie LNBF over 'ere somewhere, would need to find it.
I imported it as part of a mini group buy from the USA that a few forum members took part in.

If you wanna borrow it to test it's 'ere. Could be for sale at medium wad but it aint got any wifi or 5G filters in it.

thanks for the offer @moonbase - my tit from the US of A arrives Friday - so i'll see what that brings....

thank you.
 
JUST NOTICTED THIS!
Wtf.
See attached - some local radio shannigans....might be interfering !!! although this also suffers from the glitching.

@moonbase - do you pick that up from where u r?

GB3JV looks to be something to do with the BATC

The frequency is 3403H, right at the very bottom end of the C-Band spectrum.
If you are getting the signal fluctuation at the LNBF top end around 4100 to 4200 in V polarity I cant see it being all due to GB3JV?

If I had to guess, I would put it down to the LNBF, unless the local vicar showered metallic urine on your dish when he blessed it on the way home from the boozer.

Is it only 55.5W that you are getting the issue?
What is 40.5W like, it is crammed full of C-Band channels and one of the easiest catches there is, plenty Poop on it as well?

cant test until my plate comes mate ....it happens on 58w and 43w

It might be worthwhile looking around for a second hand polo pipe to use with circular polarity C-Band satellites?
If you wanna squeeze every last drop of juice from the circular polarity signals a polo pipe will get you an extra 1.0dB to 1.2dB at least, probably more compared to a dielectric plate.

I found that some of the Poop from 40.5W was borderline or just over the threshold for a lock when using a dielectric plate.
Switching to a polo pipe instantly boosted the signal level to give clear headroom with decent margin and nice smooth Poop, no point slurping lumpy Poop.
 
i understand that @moonbase - some links to be able to source one would be handy...

You could try a wanted advert on here just in case any of the members have spares they wanna offload.
If you buy brand new you gotta import one. The supplier used by a few members on here is AV-COMM in Australia.

Make your own..them cheapo white plastic choppings boards are ideal..

Aye, good for a workaround, plenty info on the forum from "Vipersan", "Pride" and others on making these plates.

Nelson made one too..more gain using the 'T' shape design..
