Skew can it be off on Lnbf ?

[jayelem]

Can the Skew be off on a Lnb , I've tweaked and tweaked and just don't get optimum results where it should be. - 43.4 , I calculate is at 7:00 yet I get better results with no skew or slightly counter clockwise between 5:00 and 6:00.

Anyone have this happen ?

Today I setup a stationary dish on Hispasat , all TP's but one came in pretty strong , I played around with just about everything including skew, my motorized dish was my reference and I turned Lnb to same position.

Anyone know of a skew diagram that shows where all numbers are at, my invacom Lnb has numbers for skew, but my Extreme II doesn't.

The xtreme II has a notch on the side for 0 skew so the coax at 0 is to the right or left

Way different on my Invacom, but since you pointed out 0 skew mark , it now makes sense and that means it is exactly where it should be, thanks for the illustration, I never would have found it.

took me a while when I first got mine. I was always off on polarity 90 degrees
