Yes Duncan DisorderlyAn expert you say
Was his name Duncan?
Try nowFor some reason I can't pm you.
Is that an umbrella over the dish?
So if that tree is the problem, why was the motorized dish seeing all the sat positions ? It literally just above the multisat dish.
Possibly been lower on the pole yes, but that should have been more or less instantly know to a pro installer, basic phone apps can tell you if its a line of sight issue with reasonable accuracy.Those extra 1-2 meters height+ bigger size is making difference. f
What is the approx height of the top of the tree, height from the bottom of the dish to the ground and distance from the tree to the di
I use Google earth before any satellite installation Then you can determine if there is any trees or buildings blocking the
Line off sight Gives a clear indication if you
need to install the satellite dish at the front side or back off property
Id say a 24 degree spread is pushing it on a 80cm dish.In term of my original question. Is it possible to get 52e and 28e on 80cm multisat setup. 39e being in middle?
Would agree I would concentrate on 19 13 23 28 Should receive good s.n.r on these
transponders with 80cm satellite dish This is my two installations at home
Credit to D.j.CarrousoNice setup.
Unfortunately, can't do another pole as wouldn't be approved by my Boss! I am getting 28e, 23e and 39e on fixed so not bad.
You mentioned, WAVE frontier on other message. To be honest, don't know much about that system but will keep in mind for next time. I have used my satellite budget for this year so have to wait for the next birthday to buy the present!
Why Toroidal?
There are many other antennas available on the market that offer multi satellite capabilities for a limited arc range, designed based on a parabolic formula.
The limitation of these multi-beam parabolic antennas comes from its original formula. Only one LNBF, which is installed at the center, is at its optimal position.
In other words, the other LNBFs are not at their optimal position. Therefore, a customer may experience rain fade and weak signal strength on the channels coming off from these not-optimally located LNBFs.
On the other hand, Toroidal formula makes it possible to locate all LNBFs at their optimal position due to its dual reflector design of Toroidal antenna. Therefore, Toroidal antenna provides the same signal strength and stable signal for all LNBFs under various environments.
Toroidal 55? or Toroidal 90?
Wavefrontier currently offers two different models, T55 and T90.
Toroidal 55
T55 has the same effectiveness of 55 cm (20 inches) dish for each LNBF installed.
T55 can accommodate up to 8 LNBFs.
T55 can cover up to 40 degrees in arc (60 degrees in azimuth)
Toroidal 90
T90 has the same effectiveness of 90 cm (38 inches) dish for each LNBF installed.
T90 can accommodate up to 16 LNBFs.
T90 can cover up to 40 degrees in arc (60 degrees in azimuth)
Hi mate,The motorised dish is on pole and was able to see all sats on the arch including 52e.
The fixed dish can't be put in another pole so unfortunately cannot avoid those trees.
The gentleman agrered fixed price so don't think he tried to made money. We were hindered by little rain which delayed the installation but he did spend actual 6 to 7 hours on fixed dish.
For motorised, he probably did not have enough time and I asked him to come down as it was very dark and too late .
You'll need a 60mm pole for that. The mount that comes with it looks pretty good.Going to buy the
Wave Frontier Toroidal T90
Have looked at the instruction manual not that hard to install especially if it is pole mounted

Never wanted to own one but always wanted to install one to see what is achievable.I have hummed and hawed about a toroidal dish for a while now. I might get one if you're happy with the end result of your install.
