    40" C/Ku - Band Dish

    Hey Pete, Is the scalar ring just a good mounting point, or does it really help the signal, and what do you think a 36" dish will produce? Seems like I've just gotta' give it a try unless you say it's useless :D PD PS: Haven't used the ASC421 I got from you yet, so I'm antsy to try...
