It is funny how much variation there is in the signal quality on these receivers. All three are hooked to the same lnb on the same dish.

Thanks mengram, much appreciated. Thought my bud was sound but seems I need to do a bit of tweaking. Just curious, what dish were you using for that tp?
That was the 8 ft, the signal on the Raptor is about 43% on the 8 ft dish. The signal is about 74% on the Raptor using the 10 ft Channel Master.

Too hot today but I think I'll do some skewing this weekend on my 10' channel master as all my time this Spring was spent on the 8' solid. Thanks for all the info and pics mengram.
I decided to give Simon Bolivar another shot today and came up with about 46% signal quality on my skybox F3, no signal on my azbox ultra and 79% signal quality on my optibox anaconda. Since there is a bit of breakup my lnbf will have to be skewed when I find the time. This also leads me to believe that the anaconda is the receiver that has the finest tuner sensitivity of all receivers I have ever tested, some pics:

Mengram, Which of your receivers seems to have the best tuner sensitivity with your Cband channels?
The Pansat 9500 wins hands down.

Finished burying the wires for the 8 ft mesh today, dug all with a pair of posthole diggers. Temp today was 101 and the heat index was between 105-110, did'nt know if I was gonna make but I "got er done."

Awesome job mengram. What type of feed are you planning on slapping on this dish?
I had a Panorama quad C-band on the dish to begin with but was not impressed with it's performance. I changed it out for a WS International ESX 244 quad C-band with a Gain of 70 db and Noise Figure of 13K. I have always liked WS International products because they come with a 2 year warranty.
