Not looked seriously at 1W for a while, but no sign of Thor 3 on an 80cm dish last time I looked.

Rock solid fta pics from 11823H, 12169H & 12399H. Of course that is as expected on a 1m Gibby dish in Suffolk.

1west if fine on my 90cm triax but would be better if i had a 1.2m dish as that would make quite a difference

You will have to wait for Thor 6. Thor 5 is only replacing Thor 2!
