Antenna Feed switches: 12V & Diseqc
Hi Folks
Experience & comments on the following two subjects would be appreciated:
Question 1)
My Global "CSO12" 12V controlled antenna feed switch has failed (it allows the 12V o/p on my Echostar to switch the feeds from the fixed and steerable dishes to the single LNB input on that receiver) and I need to replace it by another 12V switch (NOT a diseqc switch in this case):
Any recommendations for a replacement:
a) same again (but I now find this one has a nominal 4db attentuation - which seems high)?
the Hama 44143 that I can find on the CPC site - but for which I can find no technical details?
c) Another supplier's switch (none found so far! )
Question 2)
One of the inputs to the above switch is a Global "4X1" 4-way diseqc switch fed from four LNB's on the fixed dish (which is why the switch above CANNOT be diseqc!). But again this has a 4dB attentuation spec on it.
Any suggestions for a 4-way diseqc switch with a lower attenuation?
(I have only found some Orbitel units advertised so far but no tech specs)
Thx in advance for any help.
