Adding the below link to the review for a better understanding in the difference between C and Ku focal distances http://www.dmsiusa.com/documents/c-k...al%20point.pdf
Another thing to try if having mediocre results on Ku is my LNBF cover modification mentioned in this review!

We use a internal switch with a external coax connection. You can use the switch for signal delivery on one coax, OR you can bypass the switch by using two runs of coax.
See more info at http://www.dmsiusa.com/bsc621-2.htm.
Also, Pete (PSB) has a lot of good information on this forum.

As always, there are limitations to what we can do. The biggest limitation is the volume we can sell. If we can't sell a fair volume, we can't pay for the engineering, toolings, etc.
We've got some interesting things in the works. There are a couple of things I'm really excited about. One is a 0.3dB Ku LNBF that can be used on prime focus or offset. I don't believe anyone has ever done that! The other one.... well.... I'm holding back on that one until we have stock. The project is scheduled to complete in about four weeks.
Pete (PSB) is always a good source of information. I don't spend a lot of time on the forums (because I don't have a lot of free time). My normal day in the office is 14 hours long, and that's six days a week.

Yes I still use it with a 6' mesh dish.
Looking forward to trying the new 10750 L.O. K u version. You can bet you will hear about the results here as soon as I get my hands on one |

I am thinking of trying one of these out.
Can anyone tell me what C-band sats I could expect with a 40 inch dish (east coast)
