[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 903425, member: 325666"] Done some modding on the -01...but not locked anything on the vertical as yet .. Could just be the signal from Newsnet office is as low as it can go.. skies clear and bright sunshine here. Can't even get a lock on newsnet with the unmodded port ...and the nag feed (H) is only 4db ..ie very low .. So I will leave the -01 on Carl and try later. It could be low ka signal from 19.2E It could be a poor match ..illumination wise.. It could be I have made reception worse by modding ..but I doubt this. Anyway .. As far as the modding goes .. Septum removed on the left port viewed from the front. Earthing strip on the pcb removed (both sides ..) the holes drilled out(copper rivets effectively...front to back of the pcb) the resulting holes filled with epoxy to prevent water ingress.. The resonance chamber partition removed from the casting.. IE ..the usual mods ..effectively removing the H polarity.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
