After modding my Precision 1.8 to take either a Ku or C Band LNB which can be easily swapped over, I had another quality product from Moonbase a SMW OMT to fit two SMW typeE LNB's which I have..this is fitted to the Invacom adjustable feed with great results..Well impressed.20220318_162743.webp20220318_162828.webp
 
How do you optimize the polarisation angle?

Just like you would a standard Universal LNB, assuming you are talking about skew. I set mine up here on 3W

Nice colour coded match between the LNB's and the OMT.
I am pleased the OMT is doing the job to your expectations.

hi!using OMT how much cross-polarizations among TP?
 
Some quattro LNBs work better than others, but yes, a mechanical filter is usually better than electrical.

Yes, definitely gives the edge on the weaker signals, although the Invacom Quattro I was using before was very good..
 
Very good results, better than using a quattro..
and what about power supply of lnbs, i guess they feed 180mA FOR ONE, is the receiver capable of this load?

Yes, no problem for my receivers..

DiSEqC switch (use 4 separate satellites on the receiver) or a small multiswitch.

edit: too slow :-doh
