    BSC621 modification

    I was at Sadoun today to pick up another switch. I mentioned the experience that I had with the BSC621 on my 120cm dish. Good for Cband (as good as a 4 footer can be :) ) but poor KU signal. I recently motorized the 4footer in the back yard. Being that AMC9 is my true sat, I tried setting up...
