My 1 year old Corsair 620 watt supply had gone south. Thankfully the main panel circuit breaker did...

    GeosatPro CK1 - How to Shim

    Got my new CK1 c/ku feedhorn this week and have noticed like a lot of these feedhorns, the scaler ring hole is larger than it needs to be making it difficult to get the feedhorn aligned with the dish. I've seen posts here of guys mentioning shimming things to make it work better, but what...
