andrews feed horn big dissapointment

***CROSSBONES*** · 09-10-2006

It just sems strange that some members are having good results with the Inverto c/master feed and 1.2m dish. I dont have the c/master, but the

1.2m Gregorian, and like my previous post I am getting Excellent results with the Inverto.

Its a shame iwol couldnt try one of ours to see if he`s a faulty LNBF.

Ask if you could exchange it m8, say its not working at all!

***iwol*** · 09-10-2006

thought it was me doing something wrong with the inverto ,does the signal drop if you use another output

***iwol*** · 09-10-2006

thanks crossbones they might insist on sending it back testing ect and like i say its working but not too good only paid £15 quid so not much to lose i suppose

***CROSSBONES*** · 09-10-2006

does the signal drop if you use another output

In what way m8? Its a single out put Inverto I have.

***iwol*** · 09-10-2006

what kind of reception do you get on 7 west crossbones cheers

***iwol*** · 09-10-2006

sorry crossbones the last question was for iceman with the quad lnb the last question was for you (receptio)sorry for that im a one finger typer

***CROSSBONES*** · 09-10-2006

I havnt realy tried 7w as we have had alot of rain lately. Next good weather we get ill give it a try, but I dont think ill get any of the weaker transponders

***iwol*** · 09-10-2006

do you get any at all

Likvid · 09-10-2006

The Invertos are very different in performance from one sample to another.

I ordered 50pcs C120 Single LNBs in a lot from Inverto and tried all of them, and the result was very uneven.

The one i have now is the best of the lot i had.

***iwol*** · 09-10-2006

i think imust have got one of your other ones likvid

Somewhat i am not surprised with that outcome M8...I wouldnt expect consistency from an LNB worth £15...You are lucky,you had the chance to pick one out of a 50piece lot...

But i have tried the Invacoms as well and they all failed miserably so i might have been unlucky with Invacom.

Hehehe....yeah......

First one i tried was very bad from Inverto and thought this is shit, so i tried the next sample and suddenly it was a huge difference from the first one and then i went on and on til i picked the best one.

***iceman*** · 09-10-2006

I agree,the single C120 invacoms are not consistent either but the quad is solid as a rock....I go through a lot of quad invacoms and i havent had a bad one yet.

I am in south wales and get all nilesat transponders 24/7 on my 1.2 Andrew's with inverto i get about 80% signal qulity,

I also get all the horzontal transponders on my 1.2 but the signal is not strong enuf to lock on my technomate i get 63% signal qulity and they brake up bad where i need 66% or more to lock on with no break ups,

Thats why i use a 1.8m dish on nilesat so i can get the horizontal transponders 24/7 and allow for rain fade,

i think ive opened a can of worms

***iwol*** · 09-10-2006

but what a good debate

10-10-2006

I tested both signal and quad invacoms and found them both the same,

When you tested the quad did you see diffrent qulity on diffrent outputs,

Quad is definately superior M8,belive me...no doubt about that...No difference between the outputs tho..

***iwol*** · 10-10-2006

oh no rd100, just when i saw the light someone switched it off

was gonna try the invacom quad but not sure now(again)

10-10-2006

On 1.2m andrew & 1.8 andrews i tested single, twin and quad invacoms but none where as good as the inverto and i have been installing dishes for year from 43cm andrews up to RX/TX 9.3m andrew's at earth stations,

And i have test loads of lnb's over the years

10-10-2006

I have come to the point where i find the best lnb with andrew's offset ku-band linear feedhorns is the inverto so far,

10-10-2006

I have not tested c120 invacom single against quad how much difference is there between them,

Cheers,

I am also going to order a few invacoms quads in tomorrow i have already got a few singles here and see what the difference is between them
