[QUOTE="satkitten, post: 538713, member: 284280"] :)just to update my findings on the fracarro 85cm alluminium....as there seems to be a few peeps in various forums wondering about them.. My original setup was an 80cm steel or tin dish with 0.6 uni lnb from lidl. this was very good for fixed/strong sats, and quite acceptable for weaker sats, but in rain...pffft.....i have now motorised my system with a darkmotor and found the vibrations of the motor went through the dish making the whole thing a tad noisy. the new dish is much quieter when moving and here are some examples of improvements read in similar conditons. lots of low cloud/drizzle SAT Freq Pol.
