[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 786413, member: 325666"] Ok ...AFN is back .. Made the neccessary adjustments to the tripod .. ..managed to reduce the 3/4 inch error to less than 1/4 inch by taking a pipe cutter to one of the legs removing 1/2 inch of copper tube..thus allowing greater scope for movement.. then used the laser insert to get the new plate to within an inch aimed at the dish centre .. Farrrr to cold to make any tiny tweaks ...so just popped an lnb at the presumed focus ...ignoring the focal distance for now ... Threw on a commercial scalar plate ..and popped in the old T plate ..not the comb design .. result is that AFN is back at 6.2 db and stable. More tweaking to do but it will have to wait for a warmer day ..my hands are devoid of feeling atm ... I HATE WINTER MONTHS.. No light nights to 'play out' with my girl ....and freezing conditions ..which don't help my 'condition'. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
