Afternoon test (cloudy) with Laminas 150cm on 8W 12604H ( still no lock on 11013H, 11054H ):

IBU new : 68% SQ
Prenium PLL: 70% SQ
Golden Media 201+ : 70% SQ
(+ 1% when using calar ring)

There is little to be gained in the promises of a 0.1/2/3/4 device if the front end has anything in the circuit that exceeds this noise figure.


Plus, if the LNB has been in the sun for a few weeks the circuitry will be baked to the same as last year, the year before, year before .....

Afternoon test (sunny) with Triax 100cm, on Badr4 26e 12072H :

I put my DarkGold 0.1db on my dish earlier to see how it performed against the Golden Media.

Weird results..........

On the strong sats, 28.2e, 19.2e and 13e it trounced the Golden Media.

Prime example is 10714H 22000 on 28.2e - a 6% swing in signal quality.

At 0.8W and 8W the Golden Media was a good 3-5% better on signal quality and strength than the DarkGold.

Noted, on the meter on strength, the GM201 was consistently a couple of % stronger than the DarkGold, it's just for some reason on strong transponders, the DarkGold really performs well quality wise.

The truth is, the best lnbs are those that can perform well on the weaker transponders. An lnb which performs better on strong signal is not very useful, if you ask me.
