..... In a round about way i suppose M ...
I had a thought a couple of months ago about using Ka with the ability to do linear H / V using just one PLL lnb with some skew control as a bonus and with the least amount of signal sapping components in the way.
As this is not going to be used at focus on the 1.8CM i felt i needed to give myself the best start by going for a PLL lnb. The servo motor is just a way of swinging through 90deg for H/V... or even slant polorisation lol but also allowing me to have some fine skew adjustment as a bonus. Now i know this is not in the same quality engineering product as our good friend Trust1 , who's skills i greatly admire, along with others on this forum, but not too bad for a contracting Sparky.
I had worries that the servo would not work on the end of a 20mtr length of .5mm x 3core cable but supprisingly it did ok, so that was one worry out of the way.
Again, the bits came out of the left-overs box that went into the 1.8CM re-build apart from the small abs box, cable .... got a van full. The BIG expense was, youv'e guessed it, the XMW Ka PLL lnb
Because of the shape of these lnb's it would be possible to just slide a different band Ka lnb in if you fancied it
.
I'm just waiting for for the XMW to arrive before i can exactly fabricate the holding arms so to speak. I have an engineering drawing of it but i prefer to have it in front of me to work with.
