[QUOTE="amdade, post: 963292, member: 406326"] S-band thanks for the link very impressive. I spent quite a while with my 1.5 IRTE trying to find 55W or 58W without any luck at all. The other pain of course is these two are linear where most of the arc is circular polarisation. Im still not 100% if trees were the issue or just not enough gain from the 1.5 So for now the old IRTE has the dilectric plate in, the fortecstar I have no plate. Im using an external switch with one cable feeding the three dishes into my Technomate RX. much more convenient than muddy feet taking plate in and out :-) On the fortec star the bottom edge of the dish is almost touching the ground for 55 and 58. Both come in well, I was wondering about doing a dual feed 55 and 58.... Yes there will be some issues of rust but I have a tin of well known antirust paint on hand :-) [/QUOTE]
