Ka band on 19E!

it long time use ka band from september 2012
after that stop operation astra 1h ku band
ses make more service ka band on 1h
maybe also astra 1l 2 tp in ka band
 
Are there any consumer priced LNB's out there for this part of the KA band yet?

Cheers
 
There are some on a well known auction site for around 35 quid.
 
Those on the well known auction site are circular polarity. The signals on 1H are linear polarity, i.e Vertical and Horizontal.

The signal loss would be huge even if you did get a lock.
 
They are not even in the same band nano.
 
Looks like Flysat has corrected its listing as these are now shown as coming from Astra 1L (which has KA band capability - not sure 1H does).

Wouldn't be just be able to remove a depolariser plate from inside the LNB to convert it to linear?

Not really since they're using different bands, I have read the Lo can be modified in the Soarsat LNB's to work but never read any clear instructions.
 
Which one did Evan get?

Oh I just had a flashback to the good old days when you needed three or more LNBs to cover a whole band and OMTs to stick them all together. I even had some LNBs that looked a bit like those. It's like we're starting again with this new band.
 
Was thinking exactly the same Timo. Like the old days trying to pick up feeds and other channels that needed different LO freq lnbs. I was only about 10 at the time but completely understood by educating myself reading the wotsat mags :)

I was fairly old then when when I started to learn it all from my what sat mags at 14 years old. ;) The biggest problem was finding the pocket money to buy those damn expensive 1.2dB LNBs and figuring out how to connect them all up before diseqc was invented... fun times.
