Mechanical satellite switch

[a33]

Unfortunately google search sorted nothing. Bad luck.

I even found a 3way switch: Philmore AB7 A-B-C Coaxial Switch Antenna, Cable, VCR Switch

Alas many switch webpages report: out of stock. Is that what your problem is, "sorted nothing"?

A33.

Being an Old School type of guy I'm using these simple A-B mechanical switches here at the moment on two of my motorised systems and have no operational losses worth talking about . At the moment I'm using them as Antenna in switched to different receivers or spectrum analyser on the two F ports

Yes, they are the ones (there are two types, one has a slightly stronger rocker system inside) but they are more or less identical in performance.

Advice Needed - One For The Switch Men

Hi, Would anyone please be able to advise me if there is a non DiSEqC switch that I can use to get three or possibly four dishes connected to a twin tuner receiver? My first thought was to use a couple of A/B switches in reverse mode with what is normally the A/B switch input source acting as...

I'd love to one day see your entire shack of equipment!

It's impressive...all his tackle!

Maybe this one can do the job ?

Finally I bought this:

It seems good, make its job without any issue.
It can be used in both ways: as antenna switcher (2 dishes, 1 receiver like in my actual needs) or as receiver switcher (1 dish, 2 receivers).

Gosh, I remember using one of those to switch between 19E and 13E in analogue days. I had two and think one still survives. Somewhere.

Well, this type of switch survived two or three eras!
From analog to first digital (DVB-S) to second digital (DVB-S2) to.... the next.
Too obvious. It is a mechanical switch!! ahaha!!!

Identical to those here , but not at 14 Euros.

Had two of those in use for years and years.

Why? Are yours just similar but better or I was so lucky to find them at a lower price?

As mentioned above there are two versions (that I know of), I was selling them between £8-£10 but that was before P+P.

I'm not aware of the other version. Is it better maybe?
Could you please post a link? Thanks.

Simple LNB switch question

We have a basic S/D sky set up with a single LNB. I have an old HD dark box that I would like to use for Freesat HD. I don't have ladders at the moment and rather than fit a twin LNB and run another cable it would be simpler if I could switch the LNB between the receivers. Is there a simple...
