60$ lighter in pocket ,,,now the wait.

It was me bidding against you! I will still keep my eye out for another one.

Ouch ..
that must hurt for both of you ..
Perhaps better if in future you guys ..could indicate your intent here ..since we are all assumed gentlemen and wont try to gazump each other ??

..of course bidders who aren't forum members are beyond out control..
but it may help ..if we can agree to this ??

Ooohh sorry Chris. That guy is pretty good, I asked to let me know if he had another and he did. I have all I want now so the next one is your mate...

 

[Llew]

Haven't seen an 18.3 - 18.8GHz Hughes to bid for in months despite checking regularly

Oh well, like Chris, keep trying I suppose.

 

[Archive-8]

No it's the first one I had seen for quite a while and I had asked him if he had any more.

 

[Vipersan]

I guess Scopus could contact his vendor and ask if any more are available ?

>>>looks like Chris has done the job already...

 

[Llew]

I did get one some time ago, unfortunately the LNB was dead and the feedhorn was missing, so it was returned pronto and my cash repaid.

..and well I remember it ..

The vendor does come across them from time to time he tells me. He had a batch of around 15 in March this year, and they got no bids! they would have been a steal. He must have shifted them elsewhere.

This looks a nice interesting bit of kit get your credit cards out .

I find that a bit hard to accept ..that he had them on ebay and received no bids ..
Both Llew and myself have been aware of these lnbs since last year at least ..and we both have persued them ..
I certainly would have seen and bid on one at least ...
Odd that ?

I found it via google some time back VS, it seems to keep old E Bay listings, I'll try and find it again.

 

[scopus]

Here is a listing from May, in which he had sold 7 by then..........
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hughesnet-HN9200-Replacement-Radio-/251930454734

The original listing was for a batch, he must have gone on and sold the individually

 

[scopus]

Here it is, my apologies he had 7 as a job lot, as you see, no bids......

Totally explains why there were no bids ..and why we didn't spot 'em ..
Listed as Hughesnet Radio .....so searching for Hughes LNB ...or even Hughes ODU ...simply wouldn't find them ..
Radio ...they aint ..
but at least we now know the model number HN9200
Thats going in the memory bank for future searches.
cheers

Obviously Ebay has trouble with wildcard searches..

Yup VS, it took many searches to find the first one I bought, and wasn't sure if this was the same as yours...took the gamble and it paid off.

 

[scopus]

The other HN9200 turned up yesterday. The spare LNB has been added to the OMT for horizontal reception, nag feed coming well, not quite as strong as Newsnet.

 

[Llew]

Guys, I've found a 9200 at last up for auction, and ending tomorrow night. Doesn't have a feedhorn according to the snapshot, but I only need the LNB and OMT.

Would be pleased if none of you chaps bid against me
