"smackulation" to LNB
Hi Bill,
I know you have the best interests of the group and its orientation at heart
but my goal here was to impart a bit of tool knowledge into what we do.
In the (more than several) years I've been involved with using and
supporting these systems, I've seen the "hammer the LNB" method used several
times to good effect. Somewhat like Terry's discovery of backing off the
elevation to attain crosspol, I don't have to understand it to accept that
it works.
Having taught manufacturing classes for many years I too cringe when hammers
or pliers are suggested or applied.
But I do think that some occasional reference to tools types and
applications is relevant here. If I needed to change out a transmitter and
had to get the tools I would hope that someone might tell me what size the
allen wrench needed to be. If you're going to beat on an LNB with a hammer,
it is best to use one which was designed to not damage the item being
struck.
Sorry if I injected too much levity for you.
Best regards,
Glenn
