I just changed the LNB on my 10' from a Cal Amp to the C2 and have noticed that I lost some quality of signal, from 95 to 81/84 on AMC 11. Is this normal or have I not adjusted it correctly? Have others lost quality when changing from a LNB to this LNBF?
Geosatpro C2 LNBF, quality of signal lower?

I voted other because man, that is a LOT of hit. LOT of hit.
You would expect to lose a FEW points, but not 15.....I'd make dang sure your install is correct, they are a bear to set up...
And if you think THAT's fun, try a C/K-1. No F/D markings....you're on your own, son....LOL

But, did yours go down when you changed from a standard LNB to the C2?
You are correct, 14 quality points are a lot, but how much is acceptable? or is ANY acceptable?
I never have used a regular old-style mechanical LNB. I have been voltage controlled since I started. On a 10' dish, you should have no trouble. I have a C/K-1 on both of my dishes and have little trouble locking anything I want to. When I used the C2 it was on my 7.5 mesh, and I had trouble locking some HD signals, but once I got the Paraclipse the C2 was fine. I then wanted to consolidate my C and Ku, so I swapped to C/K-1's.
Now that S2 is here, it is harder to lock, and on my Birdview some S2 (well actually only found one so far, but still) will not lock with the C/K-1. Now my Birdview isn't the best setup in the world, it has an aftermarket scalar conversion installed, and I am not at all sure they did it correctly, because I had a LOT of rework to do to get it to work as good as i have it.
I would accept a 2-4 point reduction from the average co-rotor setup with average LNB's. Of course anyone could get PLL LNB's and blow us off the map, but then they would cost 10x what our LNB's cost.
I hope that clarified things a bit.
nope. Going from a 621-2 to the GeoSat gained me some stability on the 6 footer and AMC1 comes in now
on the other one the Stacked LNB was replaced and the C2 gave same results on that one

nah, got a PLL LNB sitting in my toolbox and it did not help me when I purchased it 5 yrs ago, so I went back to the Cal Amp.
My 10' is definitely not in the best of shape so my signals are not as high as they should be but will spend a little more time adjusting the C2 to see if I can get back closer to what I had with my Cal Amp with my corrotor II+.
well, I got around tonight to adjust the C2 and quality rose to 91/92, so only a 3 or 4 point drop of quality on my dsr-922 on AMC-11, not bad.
