[QUOTE="Satcom1, post: 642458, member: 302061"] This cone Scalar works best on a 1-meter or smaller dish of offset design. Depending on the f/d of a 1.2 M dish a flat Scalar may work just as well. On an elliptical dish it will illuminate the smaller aperture only. But by trimming away the sides to form an elliptical horn the entire dish may be illuminated. On a 1m or smaller dish moving the cone Scalar in or out tunes specific TP's. This device makes the dish highly reactive and a signal of resonance (amplification) can occur making no signal jump to a high SQ. On some applications a fourth cone may benefit the overall gain. The last cone may benefit by being spaced at 7 mm away from the third cone. [/QUOTE]
