Offset dish recommendation for C-band?

[greatguy112]

satcom mentioned the panaoram 13k lnb, i have a 17k cheap lnb from ebay , that looses signal during the evening on 37.5W, in fact i'm using 1.3M prime focus dish, i was getting 40% signal(until about 2 weeks ago) but now down to 35 % during the day still watchable, then drops in the evening to around 29 , where i cant see anything, i know i need a good lnb at least that will be stable, and thinking of getting the panorama 13K , but people are saying on this borad that theres a shift of about 20MHZ, is that true and what really does that mean?, if its just a matter of adding 20MHZ to the frequency then i can live with that

Still in a preparation phase, waiting for autumn. I have just bought this thing, see picture. It is quite heavy.
Does all C-band flanshe LNB will suite this thing?
Can I reuse the dielectric plate from this in my Pauxus?

hi - sharp -
your offset feedhorn is a little different to mine .

if it fits on the pauxis barrel ok it may work perfectly well as it is .
just give it a try and see --

i.v not seen one with the plate in the feed like that before - is the plate removeable - and will it fit in the pauxis barrel ?

there seems to be quite a bit of scope to experiment with C band feeds an dielectric plate variations as "Vipersan " did on his setup -- you can read about in another thread in the C band section of the forum
