Morning Guys and Girls.
On Friday evening I finally reached one of my long term goals with the KTI.
At aprox 8pm at Friday night,I finally got my first C-band reception off Intel 10 @ 68.5deg.
The signal; was low ,and the Image broke up allot ,but it was there.I spent a few more hours with the alignment of the dish, and some tweaking of the LNB.
The signal improved somewhat, but not enough to my liking. Yesterday I got on the roof again, and gave it another go (This time sober!!)
I changed out the MTI Lnb for my cheaper, newer Gospell, and the signal improvement was a good 4% more on the Metabox.
(MTI 25k vs Gospell 15k noise)
I must say : this is one hell of a finicky Satellite! If the dish moves less than 1/16th ,the signal drops enough to loose the picture.So I took some rope,and strapped this dish to the roof in 2 places.Its a bit better now.
I hope to finally receive the 46 channels which are available on it ,and not the 15 that I currently have after 6 hours of tweaking!
Will post some pics later on tonight.
