Do You think this is better than the "pie pan" feed?

Conrad,

From the tests so far, probably YES.
Considering the Kraken Feed Includes the LNA and coax, its not that expensive.

You can cut the nooelec feed square support tube down to ~ 20cm to hold the Kraken tube

I plan to run more CakePan tests this week.

Thank you Alex.

I might consider the Kraken feed rather than the "pie pan".

You will get Excellent Performance with the Kraken ..
It is a well designed piece of hardware and is extremely easy to install
