With a c band dish and one of the newer LNB's that is all one piece with no moving parts is it considered better to use a feedhorn cover or leave it open to the air?
On one hand with the cover off the LNB would be much cooler but on the other hand the LNB is directly exposed to the elements. If the cover is used the bees find the inside of the feedhorn an attractive place to build a hive and the inside temperature must get quite high on a sunny day because the feedhorn cover is black plastic.
The cover is in really nice shape but would it shorten the life of the LNB to use it? Recommendations?
