A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

All you have to do now is check which satellites use that frequency range.

16E rings a bell

It'll be fine for ad hoc feeds on Astra 4A 4.8E, and the current transmissions on Eutelsat 16A at 16E and 7A at 7E. If you can obtain one.

... Could be a useful addition to the arsenal for the Ka band experimenter.
We need to track a supplier down now Chris and get some idea of cost.

What happened when you tried to get one?
Inverto Ka LNBF 21.4-22GHz

Looks like a few others have tried around Europe but I've not found any mention of one being used. They look interesting. You could do as @dreamsat1 did with the lower one and use a plate to switch back to linear. The stability is typical DRO but if it's cheap it's an easier way to get dual polarisation than a rotator.

Perhaps they never produced that one, instead concentrated on the Ka/Ku model?
