[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1005917, member: 175144"] The Norsat LNB is not built/specified to reach frequencies below 3.625 GHz , thereby missing out on the lower frequencies that are 'relatively' common. Moonbase has posted the original technical detail fo the device that confirms the LNB has a local oscillator set to 5.75 GHz which goes halfway to how the LNB will perform. Unfortunately the mechanical design of the feed connection is standardised at the 5.150 L.O. with a CPR/WR 229 flange, which is rated for 3.4 - 4.2, but so far I cannot see a performance curve that provides confirmation the upper frequencies are not affected. Nevertheless, the LNB does have to bolt onto a dish feed and/or corotor/BullsEye type combiner so a compromise had to be made. Perhaps some enterprising individual will make a bespoke feed tuned throughout the extended/super extended/Carlos Fandango range at a later date. [/QUOTE]
