Convert 6' solid dish to C band. How would I do this?

[ken2400]

So I want to receive "The Walk" on 97W with this 6' dish on C band.
I live in Central NY State.
3851 V tp 7 3532-3/4


What do I need and what are my odds in getting it?
Thanks

Reception of that channel should be fine with a 6'. Purchase a c-band LNBF and conical scalar. You will need to fabricate a larger 68mm c-band feedhorn clamp to replace the current 40mm KU clamp. Best that you move the feedhorn arms slightly away from the mount to allow more adjustment of the feedhorn/Scalar FD/FL positioning.

What's needed to get accomplished is get the C band feed throat in the same position as the existing Ku feed and have means of adjusting the fore aft position.
If I were in need of doing this, think I'd put a string from the top lip to the face center of the Ku lnbf (placce a mark or tape) and continue the string to the bottom lip. That will locate the vertical position as well as the focal length. Leave string attached to the dish and remove the Ku lnbf and mounting hardware.. Use the strings lnbf position to position the C band lnbf. Tune up the focal length watching the Q meter then fashion mounting as necessary.

I would be willing to trade a nice C-band dish, lnb, and pole for that dish.
pm me if your interested.
