[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1081625, member: 178786"] The LNBF L.O. value is indicated as 5.15 GHz on the box it came in. In the Strong SRT receiver set the LNB Frequency to 5150. Other than that it is just a case of locating the satellite. The dielectric place is just a rectangular slab of some organic polymer such as acrylic or perspex and is about 3mm thick and the length of the internal diameter of the LNBF. Was there anything like that in the box? The elevation to the 68.5 East satellite is just over 30 degrees, if you know the distance to the trees and the height of the trees you can calculate if the dish line of sight is clearing the trees. In fact, there is an option on the dishpointer website to perform this calculation for you. There is another C-Band linear polarity satellite at 46.0 East with quite a few frequencies and a fabourable beam footprint for your location. It is also higher in the sky with less chance of obstruction by trees and no dielectric plate needed. If you have enough stamina left for a try at this one until the installers arrive you might strike lucky? The LNBF will need to be slightly rotated to cope with the different polarity skew angle for 46.0 East. [/QUOTE]
