I’m currently receiving 91-G17, 99-G16 and 107-Anik F1R on my 6’ dish having G16 centered using a scalar ring and the other two without the scalar ring. Performance on all three is very good.

New Idea:
I’m wondering if I remove the scalar ring from the center if I could also receive 95-G3C and 103-AMC1. This would consist of 5 C band LNBF’s in a row receiving satellites 4 degrees apart. The only problem is without a scalar ring I would need to come up with some type of support for the feeds. Any ideas? Has anyone ever tried this?

Receiving AMC1 would be great for MeTV, THIS and the Miami networks.
 
i have done this to both sides and it is my current 40w and 43w setup.
works for 87w,91w,95,99w,103w.
i dont remember where, but i did post it on the forum somewhere
