Feed once the feed is connected.

3. Attach the RocketM to the Dish Reflector.
a. Align the mounting tabs on the back of the RocketM
with the Rocket Mounting Bracket located below the
Antenna Feed.
b. Slide the RocketM down to lock it into place.
4. Attach the RF Cables to the connectors labeled Chain 0 and
Chain 1 on the RocketM.
