Very good job and good diy skills did the lnb no come with a prime focus scalar ring? at all:confused

Indeed it did m8 ..a very basic one .. with only one outer ring ..
You can see it in the last picture where the whole assembly is mounted..

..I may remove the boss again tomorrow and double up on the 15mm pipe clips on each of the 3 mounting 'wings' ...to add a little more rigidity ..
I noticed when rotating the lnbf for skew adjustment ..that a good amount of torque is possible to the whole boss/lnbf mass...which remains until manually twisted back.


..still ..you find these things out as you go..

Hi m8's ..
With regard to the scalar plate provided with this lnbf (as shown in the last picture)

...does the fact that it only has the one outer ring mean that it is only realy providing noise rejection ? ...and could signal capture be improved by fitting a scalar plate with more rings ?

If so ..I will have to scour the net ..and see what I can come up with ..
