[QUOTE="bubby-joe, post: 585757, member: 307458"] I tried a BSC-621 C/Ku all in one, that's KU behind C-band and one feedhorn but with very limited success 98 to 100 for signal quality on C-band but no KU, KU lnbf spun internally using a 10 ft mesh dish that's in poor shape and due to be replaced. Most receivers can no longer use a Corotor to control polarity and fine tune. When I'm finished I'll post some quality readings across the arc compared to my 1 meter with a QPH-031 LNBF but whatever I get has to be better than my offset 1 meter motorized KU only setup. The C-band Cal amp in the picture is a 25 K and works very well here. The object is to get C,KU linear and KU circular on one dish in the end, right now I'll settle for C and KU linear to test the homemade part. To get Ku circular I need to change to a QPF-031. If the dish adjusts E/W a small bit to lock signal quality on C or KU that's OK. All motor adjustments will be controlled by USALS commands from the receiver. I'm not trying to get 2 satellites at the same time but 1 satellite with all 3 bands at one time. [/QUOTE]
