[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 888857, member: 325666"] Very Very pleased with the results now.. Am locking TPC at 1W 5.9db on the offset ..and this is probably the most troublesome of my 'reference' transponders. Made some more tweaks to the 'trombone slide' mount .. Now possible to get much closer to the ESX prime LNB ..though I restrict the proximity to the restriction of a concentric feed at the sweet spot.. As this is needed for DXing .. Both lnbs are now ESX241 ..and both currently fitted with a Pride Plate.. The offset ESX is fitted with a concentric feed plate ..but this is cut down and thus smaller diameter .. Also it is fixed and forms part of the trombone slide mount...and about an inch further back than the feed at the focus. This better suits the Offset ESX as it gives best results when NOT aimed at the dish centre ..but actually a few inches off centre.. Not quite parallel to the prime ESX but very close .. The pics explain better I think.. Nonetheless just locked Rede uniao at 40W ...at 9.7db (Offset ESX) and 10.5 db (Prime ESX).. So less than 1db difference now. I calls this a success.. [/QUOTE]
