Are you planning on testing the KU side of that new dish? I would like to see how that 1.8m compairs to a standard KU offset dish.

I removed the center section of foam. Interesting, the KU pickup is right up front and the C-band is further back. Both elements are connected together and turn for polarity.

This is the feed horn that was on the deep dish. It does not look like the standard setup. Off center next to the C-band element is the KU element. It appears that the KU side has a fixed polarity. I was planning on mounting a standard scalar ring and feed, but according to Likvid that may...

Whats the primary difference between a deep dish like this 10 footer and a shallow dish like the one shown? Other than size does one perform better than the other? I understand the focal points will be different between the two.

I am listening to Chuck Harder now on IA7 11989H/2.821. He is only on audio 2, no video. Happy to have him back. The satellite audio sure beats the shortwave signal he was on in the 90's.

Latitude 41° 50.244'N Longitude 87° 49.284'W is degrees/minutes which is base 60. Location: 41.837367 N, 87.821356 W is in decimal format which is base 10. (50/60) + (0.244/60) = 0.8374 (49/60) + (0.284/60) = 0.8214 If we were talking about time 7:45am (base 60) = 7.75am decimal (base 10)

I must be close because I do have signal strength of 60 - 70 on all Sat's i try to point to via USALS - but 0% for quality. As Larry1 says, do not look at the 'signal strength' meter. The receiver manufactures should remove that meter because so many people see they have 'strength' and think...
