    Corotor II Plus Assembly/Install Questions

    Finally got my Corotor II Plus and Norsat LNBs in yesterday. I was noticing that, per the forums here, it really doesn't matter how you orient the LNBs on the feed. Also noticed in the Chaparral instructions that you should take the clear piece of cellophane off the Ku-band LNB waveguide...
