Just Sharing This OL:12,8GHz LNB and other stranger things

[zorrin]

Hello everyone
On aliexpress I see LNBs with OL at 12.8GHz
it covers from 13.75 to 14.5GHz

What satellite is it for?



There is also the even more special one covering frequencies from 2520 to 2670 MHz
It is intended for the SES 7 satellite

once modified it could be used for what in europe?

The extended Ku LNB is likely for Turksat 5B @42E

Satellites at 42° & 39° East use the range 13.4 to 13.65GHz , unsure if they have an even higher range.
My 13.4 - 13.65 lnb uses a LO of 11.8

There is no longer any trace of these frequencies on 39° and 42°.

Yes, the frequency range is there ready for use when they decide to use that range, fairly active with test frequencies when they first began but all that remains now is a permanent marker on 39E at 13.404 V

There would be nothing to do with the other LNB ?

Old inclined ABS-4 at 61.0°E has 2630...2655 MHz payload, I doubt it's being used and published footprint is over Saudi Arabia or Iran.
