Well Mike I hate to be the one to be always bursting that bubble, but the cover won't fit with that feed centered under it. (Been there done that, or should I say didn't get it done

Yeah, that's why I'm going to use an elbow, and put that lnb UP so the cover will fit.Well Mike I hate to be the one to be always bursting that bubble, but the cover won't fit with that feed centered under it. (Been there done that, or should I say didn't get it done
That's what I'm saying, after you do that it still won't fit. Take the LNB off and try and stick the cover on. You will see what I mean. Both C-Band ports stick out too far.
I've got a larger KTI nosecone in my stash, and it appears that might work. If not, I'll go from there and mod something that will work.
The cable company here has a few 5 gallon buckets in use.
See, thinking already, lol. I can't walk through a Lowes or Home Depot without trying to figure out what I can CONVERT things into, whether they are meant to do that or not.The cable company here has a few 5 gallon buckets in use.
Got a KU elbow sent to me by Magic Static, and he included a few other goodies. Thanks, I appreciate it!
Feel free to MOVE this thread into the C-Band fta forum, (for future updates/reference when I can actually get the 10' dish up) OR mark it "sold", and I can open a new thread then.

Primestar31... Nice Horn!!! how much did you pay for it? I'm looking for a used one
It's a Pansat DP-4. I got the very last one in existence, from the guy who bought out all the NOS when they stopped making them. Your ONLY likely hope of finding one, is IF one ever comes up on Ebay. With shipping it was close to $300~

waoo... that's gold!!!
I was confuse, I thought it was a Bulleyes II either way both have the same performing right?
The bend pictured below is called an H plane bend and the other type bent across the wide part of the waveguide is called an E plane bend. The easy way (for me) to remember which is which from actually making them by bending waveguide around a form is the E plane bend would be much easier to make than the H plane or hard to make bend.
I have a DP4 here I have never used. Also a genuine ADL c/ Ku feed. Want to try them, but the dual factory feed on my 1.2 Andrews works find and the Chaparral C-band ortho works fine on the 10 foot perforated dish.
