101 W and 103 W

[bobsav2001]

Hi All.I have a 90 cm (36'') Fortec Star dish and i would like to install a second lnb to get 101W and 103W on the same dish, but i wonder if 2 degrees between satellites is possible or not enough.Thanks....Bob....

that would be VERY difficult to do because they are so close together, you might try a fully adjustable LNB bracket, the second LNB would basically need to be mounted on top of the dishes LNB and just slightly to the side, you would be better off buying a motor for that dish that way you would get them both and alot more

nope...cant do it that close
1.2 meter dish maybe because of the focal length but a 36" the closest is 4 degrees. SatelliteAV has a 4 degree bracket for the 36" dish

And don't forget the funky skew on that 103W...

 

[Mr Tony]

very true. The skew is 26 degrees opposite what the normal skew would be

thelist takes that into account when doing the satellite calculator

hard cheese:

And it wasn't easy! -
Plus, your particular location in North America has some affect on the exact spacing, too.
