Advice Needed Best LNB/feedhorn combo for Laminas 1800

[Captain Jack]

As per subject really... anyone (@Feedsat_DXer / @cardiff ) with Laminas 1.8m dish know of the best combination of LNB and/or feedhorns? Currently, a GI LNB seems to be providing the best quality signal - better than a IBU for sure.

Have you tried a CM feedhorn with a C120 LNB Alex? worked well on my 1.2 Laminas/Fraccaro

In my case, the best LNB for the Laminas (I have tested dozen and dozen) is the Octagon Twin PLL OTLO, the IBU are good in single version, which is a PLL LNB, not for twin or quad but I prefer the Octagon, more linear on the complete KU band ferequency range and a better cross polar.
The Invacom (not PLL) give best result on the Channel Master with the Raven feedhorn, not on the Laminas.

Soon I will receive a new Quad LNB PLL but already available on the market, just for testing, I'm waiting...

@scopus - I have tried it but I didn't seem to get the best results from it in conjunction with Invacom LNB.
@Feedsat_DXer - thanks, I will see if I can get that. Have you tried the GI-212 LNB?

 

[scopus]

That GI LNB is working really well on my CM as well...

 

[Captain Jack]

How does it compare to other options?

 

[Captain Jack]

Ordered the Octagod - let's see what it's like. Apparently, it's 3D compatible

Octagod?

You on that phone again?

 

[Captain Jack]

Oh ffs...

 

[Lazarus]

If the LNB is as good as reported, perhaps it's an appropriate name? ;)

Yes, but, just imagine the reception when you get home from work!

Always looking for means of gaining any possible fraction of db... Is this one a good GI? SATellitproffsen AB

Certainly better than the Inverto, about a dB there. Not tried the CM feed horn yet with a C120, but the weight aspect of that feed is putting me off for now with the changer.

That is a Golden Interstar lnb, the GI 212E is a Russisn copy which according to all who have tried them find better than an IBU single! Have sent them to UK , France and Eire and nobody has been dishappionted !
