My KA Band experience

Not really at the moment but this LNB is good because of the 2 bands (A & :cool: and 2 LNB in one (you can mod Linear and circular).
I will let it on one antenna I think.
I am still using the sl3, on my gibertini. I quite agree about them being a really good lnb. I am using a plate to convert one of the ports to HV.

That's a nice collection you have there now :-)

The 2.2 would be a cheaper option J :D

That's quite an impressive piece of kit. How does it preform against 2 single band lnb's?

I will done some test later this weekend , but the first scan at 16°E is perfect.

I have to check it between the inverto (real pll in ka ?) and the xmw pll for range C.

That's very interesting to have 2 KA band frequency range (like a SL3 but more professionnal).

More test will follow later, stay tune .

Nice ..indeed ...
So it's either a wait for that lottery win or invest in a Ski Mask ...
..and I thought the single band R9215 XMW from S Korea was expensive ..

This hobby will eat you alive if you let it..
;)
Nice toy Feedsat...

I have a Saorsat Ireland Eutelsat 9°E Ka-Band Inverto Twin Ka Circular Dual polarity 19.7-20.2GHz (LO 21.20 GHz) LNB. I was wondering with your knowledge if you think there would be any signals I could catch with it on a Triax TD110 (1.06m) in an Offset LNB position in North West England? (Lat N +53.8, Long W -3.04)?

ie if I do have a play around with it what Satellite/s Frequencies are best to start with.

And any idea what setting/s would be used on a Technomate receiver (TM7102) to read the LNB properly?

If I remember, @Vipersan has tried occasionally to receive Saorsat from his location in the NorthWest area with that LNB to no avail, so I expect you might have similar disappointing results, but worth a try maybe.

For something a little different you could try the Avanti muxes on 31E. They're within the range of the Saorsat LNB.

I am in the South west uk (Yeovil) and have tried the lnb on my 1.2 & 1.5 with no luck on the Irish signal :-( but I can pull in a few data signals from 9E

As @Llew said 31E has some viewable stuff on there.

I know for a fact I can't get 9E Ka-Saorsat at my location, thats why I was asking what to try, thanks for the 31E info.

I can get signals from 31E 9E 1W 30W & 33.5W using an Inverto ka 20ghz.

All data channels, apart from 31E there are 4 channels.

Good luck, with your hunt!

This DATA is no longer available since long time ago, last time I have seen ForsONEway active @ 7°W, it was in 2014
