    what is the difference between C/N refernce and C/N margin

    i am not sure coz on the spectrum i don't see any spikes on the transponder. today i tried a domestic coship domestic STB the Q was at 80%. but after 30 mins or so the signal breaks up. i did a loop out to tandberg IRD margin was at +3.0 dB but it dropped to 0.1db . i know that there is no...

But when i monitor the same feed on a tandberg ird it says C/N margin +0.9 dB. What is the difference between this i looked around website but didn't...

    Can using two 1.2 c band dish with one lnb increase C/N by using waveguide fitting

    ahhh, ok what about if i use square tubing alumni as waveguide. I did some testing with c band lnb where i placed the scaler ring at 40mm in a 1 meter alumni tubing rhe other end was i placed a 15k LNB. there was no drop of signal.
