[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 627232, member: 325666"] Hi Nelson .. I'm happy to know you at least got an increase in signal and quality.. It may well be that this configuration is more suitable to prime focus feeds ..where the scalar rings are flush with each other .. ..I also think it might be more effective if the T was continuous in the same material .. I've tried mixing 2 materials inside and outside the throat ...but was less effective.. ..you could also try cutting a stepped extension to the outer part of the T to fit neatly into the tapered rings .. ..making the last one flush with the outer ring .. Assuming you can find enough material Oddly ..I have now got a piece of Teflon/PTFE ...but this has so far proved less effective than the polyethylene cutting board (which incidentaly has a rough surface to pevent slippage when cutting) ..Another thing I need to consider.. Lets keep trying buddy ...you never know what we might yet pull in .. rgds VS just a quick question for you m8 .. Do you get _anything_ from 43 West at your location ? I tried last night but nothing on C band ..though I can pull transponders in KU. Its deffinately fringe for anyone in the UK ..but I can't decide if I might have a tree in the line of fire ..
