[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 887757, member: 325666"] Went back and took a closer look at your photos Huevos .. Yes indeed the Zinwell is body supported ... My old eyes you know .. Wasn't immediately apparent to me .. But I'd still love to have one of those stretched dual mounts .. Failing that the Siamese option also looks good but again I'd have to make major changes as I use a Corotor Scalar at the focus.. Rima ? How do you dx those weak signals mate without a scalar feed ? But then again ...if your dish is big enough .. Chances are you wont need one. I am constantly working at the edge of reception.. Typical example.. Cholusat 43W It's a minor miracle I lock it at all at my location.. Very much time of day.. Without a scalar feed ,, Nothing ..not even a hint of signal. With the scalar I can lock it (sometimes) correctly placed Move the scalar forward or back 1cm ... Nothing.. This is DXing at the fringe for me. I enjoy it and will try most anything to get that last 0.1db rgds VS [/QUOTE]
