Fracarro LNBs

Having followed the fascinating thread TRIAX TD88 vs FRACARRO PENTA 85 in "picture-members-setups-general-satellite-installations/", I would like to ask if there is only one outlet for Fracarro LNBs in the UK, and few of them in use? How do they perform, compared with the more available ones?

I am thinking of getting a 62cm Penta, and a Fracarro LNB would seem to be the most logical choice, for matching, and adjustment - provided the CDPU4ZN is a normal Universal Quad LNB - the catalogue does not make that clear.


Any pearls of wisdom are eagerly sought.....

My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

Haven't used the quad, but have installed the single on a Penta 85 and it performs very well. Got mine from our supporting advertiser High Definition.
