New C band LNB

[Kveys]

No problem Costa, its not your fault that transport is slow. And sure next time we should pay enough for quicker way to send. Good luck also for Team Crosby! Also CJ good luck for Team Ovetchkin!

 

[Captain Jack]

I received it this morning! Time to test it as it's sunny. Thanks Costa!

Finally....5 1/2 weeks after shipping...enjoy my friend.

I bet the oarsman is tired!

 

[Captain Jack]

Welp, put it on and tinkered with it a bit. The result on the fairly strong 11W satellite is that I have a few dB points increase in signal. From about 13.8 to 14.2. The supplied depolariser plate, as usual, gave me less than @pride21 's one.

I think the sun is sort of behind 40W right as I am getting very weak signal from there so will wait a short while before giving the verdict.

 

[Captain Jack]

Welp, I think the results speak for themselves.

BSC421 LNB - 5 transponders locked:



C1-PLL LNB 16(!) transponders locked:



Clearly getting far more transponders on the new LNB - waaay more than I expected to. This is all on 1.2m dish so can't wait to try it out on the 1.5m Gibby! The results are similar on the Vu+ Uno with some channels I have never seen before. A lot of new channels are breaking up with some unwatchable but some are completely steady and breakup free.

Despite the LNB having a range of 3700-4200, I am clearly getting results from 3600 onwards.

Will be interesting to see @Vipersan 's and @Kveys 's results.

 

[Lazarus]

Impressive stuff, CJ.

 

[Archived-1]

Great stuff CJ, it will be nice to see what your new dish brings in. I am looking forward to having a play with C band later in the year, do you come across many feeds on C band ive seen lots of tp feeds listed?.

 

[Captain Jack]

To be honest, I don't feed hunt in Ku, let alone C. But I am sure there are a few out there.
