Nice work Chris. As noted earlier, same vendor, unit and picture as the one on the way to me (hopefully).

More to come from this vendor?

So was I, but I put a proxy bid in, and luckily I won it. And not paid over the odds, and as a nice bonus I didn't have to pay import duties.

We all want one :-) trouble is to get horizontal and vertical we need two of the lnb's on the one omt. I have a 20ghz version I reuse the feed horn from that.

From what I have seen the OMT is the same one used for the 20ghz version ...
From that I would assume the feed will also work ..and will definately fit ...
I'm currently using my Norsat lnb for H ..but I also want another hughes but this can wait until everyone who wants one ..has at least one.
No way do I want to end up bidding against a mate..
Enjoy using it Chris ...I guarantee you will see a big difference ..not neccessarily in gain ..but certainly in stability on ITN ..

It's the itn's I am really after, likewise I can wait for the others to get one. It's only fair.

And I can get my scanner cable back so I see it as a win win.

My only thought is how I am going to fit the lnb/omt with one of the 40mm lnb clips.

I put some heat shrink around the feedhorn bit, then used one of those Inverto spacers that come with the Soarsat LNB, then it fits nicely with the 40mm clamp.

As usual, it's a dreadful service getting stuff to me on the last leg where I am. IIRC mine was ordered from the same seller some time before Chris's, but hasn't turned up yet. Still stuck in some UK depot since Monday according to the tracking info.

Mine was also opened by uk customs, it had a sticker on it. The shipping label had 13ten as the carrier. But knights turned up with it.

Hope you get yours soon.
