[QUOTE="bubby-joe, post: 585887, member: 307458"] Yes I know that's where the idea for this twined LNBF mount was born, I saw it in satellite international magazine and yes mostly in asia is where it's found but it only uses 2 C-band lnbf's and your right used to receive 2 satellites at the same time from a stationary dish, So why not 1 C-band and 1 KU band lnbf with C and KU scale rings on one motorized dish. My intent was to improve a solid 6 ft Andrews prime focus to do C and KU to get both bands on one satellite at a time with better performance than my 1 meter offset, using an offset LNBF it only see's 1/3rd of the dish also explained in satellite international and a prime focus LNBF with the right scale ring see's the whole dish so my 6ft dish with an offset LNBF seeing only 1/3 of the dish and will performs no better than an 18 inch dish, not enough to receive KU linear signal here but with the proper scale ring and LNBF combination it sees the whole 6ft of the dish giving better performance . With the rings on the KU band ring having 3 times as many rings on it I'm hoping for optimum performance from my Andrews dish for both C-Band digital and KU linear for now, to later expand the KU to include both linear and circular with a different LNBF a QPF-031 flange mount linear and circular LNBF meant for use on a prime focus dish with the optional ADF-120 scale ring which by the way has very widely spaced rings from the pictures of it, in my case this part will be no longer necessary.
