The adapter to fit this to the "Collar II" is 2 small plastic spacers to fit the LNB to the 40mm size of the "Collar" (the Aspen LNB is smaller).

I properly adjusted the elevation & azimuth with a satellite finder and one of my receivers connected to a tv as sugested in the installation manual. I don't think that this antenna have a focal depth adjustment (it is fix and determine by the lenght of the arms that hold the "Collar adapter"...
It's starting to make sense now I was TOTALLY envisioning a different setup altogether.

I'm still thinking that there should be some focal adjustments available by sliding the lnbf back and forth in that plastic collar. However, it could be that these parts are all manufactured for this specific purpose and thusly don't require focal adjustment.

Are there any skew adjustments that you may need to make by turning the lnbf one direction or another? I'm a little out of my league giving you advice on this one since I've never really messed with this type of setup before, so hopefully someone else will chime in and give some feedback that is more helpful
