Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place!

Does anyone know how to receive that transponder 18739 L? What kind of LNB is needed etc? am I right in thinking it is S band, can they pack more channels into one transponder using that frequency? What kind of sing all strength in east/south east UK? Thanks, all.

Its Ka band. Not S-band. Ka is split into about 4 frequency segments that need specific lnb's.

Some info on 42E here

1.2m CM dish with elevation jack, Supermount 1224 H-H rotator, Octagon SX88+, DR.HD D15, GT Media Combo, Ku PLL LNB, C Band: Titanium C1W-PLL, Ka Band: XMW R9216AF with FD9000 feedhorn, Inverto Saorsat LNB and Inverto Ka/Ku LNB . Zone 2 dish pointing at 28E with Octagon SF8008.

I bought an XMW R9216AF which I imported direct from South Korea. Its a linear LNB which is ideal for The Ka Band at 19E and I use a depolariser in its mouth for circular polarisation. It came with a feedhorn FD9000 which allows you to mount it in a clamp designed for Ku band [40mm]. I see from their website they do PLL LNBs now. [Mine is a DRO design] Ka-band LNB, Ku-band LNB, X-band LNB and C-band LNB - XMW .

John, I can only encourage you. From memory I think the DRO one was £300 or so. Let me know what they say! I presume we could still use the same feedhorn.

Probably but not 100% sure re: feedhorn - - i didn't open the pdf on it because i knew it must be in the few thousands to purchase so i thought i would struggle through with the various single band ones i already have :D
