Did you test it ?

i have to make some adapters to use an old LNB : i set the sf8008 as universal lnb (tone for band select) .
i juste change the OL values .
i want to keep 14/18V as polar change .
i detect 22k to change power supply for old lnb .
i keep 14/18 to change polarotor value .



to make some test with PLL lnb on my prime focus i made some aluminium pieces , i dont make change on original lnb just
put a aluminium ring stuck in the horn.

Are there people who use a mechanical polarotor?
in KU band?
Which LNB: OL=9.75-10.75 band select 14/18V or OL 9.75-10.6 band select 22khz?

On my EGIS installation I am going to put a mechanical polarotor and a 9.75/10.75 LNB and I am going to add a small interface to control this LNB with 22Khz.
Does this interest anyone?

Not so long time ago I've got this LNB for PFA with mechanical polarizer. It changes H to Y by applying some DC voltage to the motor.

Nowadays it only makes sense to have/use OL 9.75-10.6 I think. But since you are making "something unique & special", ideal would be a choice.

I designed this small assembly so that an old LNB (9.75/10.75 -14/18V) + mechanical polarotor can be recognized by the sf8008 as a universal LNB with OL 9.75/10.75 instead of 9.75/10.6.
It works very well, you have to adjust the two polar values at each satellite position.


here is the schematic

if someone can gives me advice about L2 L3 C7 values .
i dont have active splitter or opened devices to see similar values .

when sf8008 send 22k (high band) , 22k is detect in posi and send 18V to L3 .
when there is no 22k signal posi send 13V to L3.
sf8008 send also 14/18v ,posi use this to manage polarotor (no change to L3).

The larger dish in the garden has a Co-Rotor which uses the same circuitry for both C and Ku band.
