[QUOTE="Trust, post: 953521, member: 181524"] I made for testing a conicle adaptor with a separation angle of ± 38º and attached the BEST lnb/ Hirschmann feedhorn and a X-1 C lnb with conicle feedhorn to it . Both lnb's are in optimum receiving position . Since the construction with the changer motor under the dish and the angled sectors for the lnb's , they pointing together at the backside . Not a problem yet with those setup but if someone want to use a AV-COM polarizer in combination with other long lnb's , it wont fit . Also the Inverto KAKUO lnb and the SL3K lnb need a lot of space . Longer treaded rods aka bigger lnb holder radius could give them more space , but less stable I think . So maybe we go back to the motor at the end of the feedarm ? I found a Jaeger DG120 diseqc rotor from them I know they have 360º gear . Overruled the end switches and driven it by a old Maxdigital SD receiver , it turns and it turns endless , so with modified endswitch , almost 360º mus be possible . The SG2100 with the modded (360º) gear , turned only 270º with that receiver , so the there is some difference between the motor brands . The angle between the dish and bottum beam is 73.5º because of the already made conicle adaptor , but if we decide to go on with this system , I can make a new adapter and lower the beam . Friday tested sevaral lnb / feedhorn combinations at 4.8º E 11.766H . The big SMW unit with the funny feedhorn 17.7 dB , with the Raven feedhorn 17.0 dB The BEST twin with the funny horn 16.5 dB with the Raven 17.6 dB and with the Hirschmann feedhorn 17.8 dB The flanged BlackUltra single with the Raven 15.5 dB The BEST / Hirschmann comby is now my favorit .
