SES-1 and SES-3 on the same dish.

[Headend todd]

I have a Dual feedhorn dish with SES-1 and SES-3 on it. I am having issues getting strong signals on the SES-3 side Can anyone give me some tips on making sure the feedhorn is setup correctly ie right skew on the lnbs and what’s forth.

Would be curious to see a photo of your dual feedhorn, if one is available. Always been curious how to effectively do 2-degree spacing.

You can't, that's why this thread, lol. At least not without cutting away half of the waveguides, and welding them together on a slant. That has been done and will work, but there's all sorts of "depends" with that solution.

Yeah, my experience has been that 4-degree spacing is the closest that will work reliably.
