Inverted Dish with three LMB's

[lavarock]

When I am out with my travel trailer I am considering using an inverted dish. This will give me a low profile plus less problems from the wind. My question is do I need to reverse the connections to the outboard LMB's or will a check switch take care of the reversal or does it matter?

If I understand your setup, a check switch should be adequate.

why inverted helps?

What dish are you planning on using?

Eastern Arc dish wont work...A D500 or Western Arc dish will work

As sloppy as the focus is on small dishes, the difference between the 9-degree spacing on one side and the 10-degree spacing on the other side probably won't matter. Probably.

You are right I forgot that there was a difference in the LNB spacing. Next week I will give it a try. I suspect I can point and get all three but may give up a little signal strength as a result. Also noticed my single finger typing hit an m instead of an n in the LNB. Sorry about that. I have seen single LNB dishes inverted but have not seen a three LNB inverted dish.

 

[Mr Tony]

usually dishes are inverted when dealing with a low elevation...in the free to air world we've done that numerous times. But never tried a smaller multi LNB dish before

birdbath

OK if you invert the dishes there will be a lower profile but don't you pretty much turn it into a birdbath? In winter (dependent on where live) if that is true then you would have more icing & snow problems?

 

[Mr Tony]

A few years ago I did that with 61.5
I had the dish inverted and when it snowed it did collect on the dish but at the time (this was Feb 05 according to the pics) but it only dropped the signal a little bit with 3 inches of snow on it
