Ok thanks, I'm not the main Guru on modding these units and can only help you up to a certain point ...... there is a dedicated thread on the forum relating to the use and alterations to these units by member s-band, which at the moment can't think of the exact thread title, and should be read thoroughly. The reason i asked about the two important Unit labels is because they cover entirely different regions of the Ka band spectrum.
You now need to let us know what it is in the Ka band you are actually interested in watching because that will determine which of the two Gilat units will be of use to you. Example: for the eventual possibility of watching signals from 19 East Ka Band A for the regional feeds & Newsnet channel on 18.556 GHz Vertical plus other channels on the Horizontal side , OR - the domestic channels on Horizontal polarity on Ka Band D from the main satellites for us in the UK at 16 / 7 / & 4.9deg East. A good guide as to what is on these satellites is to look at the Lyngsat & other sites at those satellite positions mentioned and look for the listings that come under the Ka category .
Have you an idea of what dish you had in mind to use for this project.
Ok yes this is not for me of course as I bought a brand new one a few weeks ago, so I really got the info for the benifit of stephend2017
I hope to try mine with newsnet soon but as I said in a previous post not in the mood currently as my mother is ill still
