[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 786233, member: 296628"] i remember when i was experimenting with D.O.S.plates i never got one that would give me a good signal on both ERU and AFN without a plate adjustment -- as i remember it was ERTU -- plate pushed right into the l.n.b. for maximum signal and plate halfway out of the l.n.b. for best signal on AFN i always had to compromise on signal strength one way or the other -- i had one plate that would see both signals ok at a reduced strength that sat flush with the l.n.b opening -- and was fine for performance on other sats ---- later when i made and refined my "vipersan" style plate it seemed to iron out all these differences and i got good all round reception across all circular sats including AFN and ERTU - (no more compromise ) ??? these were my findings on my 1.8 offset setup -- i do think there is something different about the AFN t.p -- but i have no explanation - i,m afraid pic below of my current C band circular l.n.b/plate setup -- which is giving the best all round performance to date - ( usually covered with a plastic bucket to keep the rain out - l.o.l.) regards ---- Edit --- just checked -- but polarity changing on AFN kills the signal just like the other 2 t.p.s - on my setup --- [/QUOTE]
