Building a 1.2 meter dish with 2° Spacing

Your other three dishes pretty close to A/C - have you seen increasing noise or other anomaly with signals when A/C kicking on and running ?

Never had a problem.

The coax runs from my dish farm enter the house next to a 220v window A/C unit, but I've never noticed a problem. It worried me when I first ran the coax.

That's really awesome.
Hey, SatelliteAV, are you reconsidering the monoblock option? I recall there were production quality issues that made you guys decide against producing a monoblock.

I've got 8 cables running along the pipes for my central air and have had no issues

one dish is near the A/C too

I have a feeling they are. They mentioned a while back when they tried to make a monoblock for 97/101 they would have needed 3 models depending on where in the US/Canada/Mexico you were

This sounds like a great solution for the multiple receiver setup. They probably would do a bundle with 2 of the duals and a 4x4 multiswitch

It's not the pipes concern, but ~220 VAC high current in A/C power line.

the electrical is right there too

Monoblocks for FSS reception are not suitable for the large North American distribution area. The monoblock must be designed for a specific dish and would only be suitable for use in specific regions. As Iceburg pointed out, we determined that a minimum of 3 LNBF monoblock models would be necessary to provide adequate reception compatibilities for use within a specific area.

We worked on monoblock development with several RF engineering firms over the period of several years and were not able to produce a design that would provide adequate reception on the North American satellites over a large geographic region.

Our current GEOSATpro 4 degree rotating LNBF clamp bracket with the two SL1 or SL2 LNBFs provides independent skew, satellite elevation offset, and focal distance adjustments provides performance exceeding any monoblock design or prototype that we tested. The ability to adjust the FD for optimizing convergence points and independent LNBF skew are features that are not found in most monoblock designs. These features are a must for optimizing the signal quality on the weak FSS signals.

That's really awesome.
