3 degree monoblock,

[TonyO]

I've seen them for sale for 16E and 19E etc but the collar is 60mm, as most dishes come with a 40mm collar how are you supposed to use them ?

After all the feed arms are all differant widths and lengths and any convertor would be impossible to fit every dish.

they fit ISS dishes ok

i 've got with 60mm collar and gibertini dish and it fits fine. it fits most dishes as long as the arm is not the round shape where the lnb clamp goes on.

[TonyO]

so if you have the normal standard 40mm collar how do you fit one ?

[malsat]

It should come with a 60mm collar m8

If you want 16E & 19E then a normal 6 degree Monoblock works.
Put 16E as your main focus and then just adjust the secondary focus on 19E.
Astra 19E is such a strong signal that I did it very succesfully with a Lemon 0,3db Monoblock and 1m dish :)

[vrlika]

thats right 16e has the weaker signal then 19e so 16e is the main focus ,I also have 13e on the same dish

in theory the 2nd lnb should look at 22 degrees, there is only the weak 21.6 mid-east satellite and 23.5 which in practise should interfere with the signal, but I'll try it.

the lnb is ok but the bracket it comes with is an abortion, and thats being polite, its guaranteed not to be suitable for 99% of the feed arms that exist on the market.

To make it work you need one of the old Sty a-n-alogue lnb holders that had a 40mm lnb collar, the 3' lnb neck is 20mm so you need a conventional 6' monoblock spacer for it to fit the Sty lnb bracket.

I had to use a bit of tape on the lnb to make it a snug fit, apart from that it worked ok.:rolleyes:
