Looking for a Norsat 9000B-2 Ka-Band LNB
RTE 9E and what ever else is out there att he moment I only have the triax ka lnbfJust out of curiosity, what is it within Band B Ka that takes your interest
Looking for a Norsat 9000B-2 Ka-Band LNB
I would be interested in the B in if the price was right im looking to do it as a project in spare time to you also have any KA-feed horns?What is your budget?
I have a brand new and boxed Norsat 9000BF DRO LNB, with L.O. stability figure of +/- 1 MHz and gain of 55db. I think it is the earlier version of the 9000B-2.
The figures for the Norsat 9000B-2 (DRO) are listed as L.O. stability of +/- 2 MHz and gain of 60db so there does not seem to be much between them.
I would be interested in the B in if the price was right im looking to do it as a project in spare time to you also have any KA-feed horns?
How do you go about viewing ka band, how many lnb do you need?

Ka band exploration is not quite as 'Plug & Play' as Ku or C-band is, sourcing surplus Ka band equipment can be difficult & expensive and also is spread over four or more separate band segments normally requiring a dedicated lnb / feed/ poloriser depending on what you want to receive. I have spent many years searching and collecting surplus Ka bits so you have to keep your eyes open on a regular basis for stuff to come up.
Can you give us an idea of what your 'Project' might entail - it would give us a better idea on how to pass on our mistakes and successes to you
Sorry MB, didn't spot your reply until i had sent mine
There is an XMW feed horn (FD9000) that is available online, link to supplier below. I have also attached a picture attached below of an FD9000 feed horn installed on a prime focus dish with an XMW LNB attached to it.
Ka Band Single Polarity Feedhorn
Our Ka Band Single Polarity Feedhorn utilises a WR-41 waveguide flange to interface with most Ka Band LNBs. Our Ka Band Single Polarity Feedhorn is optimised for signals in the 18.2-26 GHz range and is designed to be mounted on a prime focus antenna.www.avcomm.com.au
If you can get a Ka-Band feed horn that is matched to your dish that would be your best option.
The LHCP version is 39Euro from
Is there a plate that can me moved or removed?

The Aussie site says it's WR-41, maybe that's not a typo if you have to drill the holes out!
How do you go about viewing ka band, how many lnb do you need?
...Although they 'work' on Band D 21.2 -22.2 - it states on them only up to 20GHz.
satellite superstore are selling what they say is ka band lnb for £30, no mention of whether band a b c or d, is it the ghz whice determines the letter?
That might be a contributing factor to my signal levels going down when I compared the Ka-Band D performance of a Precision 2.0m dish with Gilat LNB on the FD9000 feed with a Precision 1.5m dish with Gilat LNB on the Elite Antennas Ka feed?
The Ka-Band D range of 21.20 - 22.20 GHz might have been too far above the optimum scope of the FD9000 feed whereas the Elite Antennas Ka feed could manage it easily?
