[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 753370, member: 296628"] hi - just to satisfy my curiosity - i made another plate at the weekend - the only difference on this one is that the polyethylene material fits right down into the rings on the conical feed -- i can report that it is exactly the same in performance as the previous one, i just had to give it a try though l.o.l. i tested on the recievable transponders at 20 west and 1 west -as i did with the other plates that i made . it seems - the position that it ends in the l.n.b,s throat and the distance it projects from the front of the feed are the two things that matter on my setup. i may try different material and/or different surface patterns sometime in the future -- but other projects are keeping me busy right now - quite happy with my setup on both C band and K/u for the moment its the best its ever been :) cheers nelson.b.
