Default That's better.

Just fine tuning the dish and had a scan of 7W (like you do) just to see what's what.
Nothing special, but not too shabby for a little Gibbi I think.

Unable to tell yet, but have been kindly donated an Invacom 0.3 C120 and feedhorn by BLACKHAWK to be tested on the Gibbi.

Initial results are that the Invacom yields 1 - 2% sig increase today, but obviously needs to be left up for a month or so to eliminate local atmospherics.
The Invacom is currently on th CM F/H, will give the Inv F/H a spin with both LNBs next
