[QUOTE="John, post: 1159726, member: 175005"] Hi Gary Sorry to hear that you re suffering from the dreaded 5G hobby killer problem - sadly it will only get worse when they start using frequencies higher up the band ie: 3.79/3.8GHz area like they have with my location. My big killer is only300m away due South of me and my Cband reflector looks directly at it most of the time - the harmonics from the 5G 3.8GHz signals totally destroy any decent Cband reception now ll the way across the band if no 5G filtering is used. I don't use lnbf type of lnb's here Gary, usually just Norsat lnb's but i do hear that the newer Titanium 5G lnbf's do give good results as long as the offending 5G tower is not too close. Iv,e been doing a fair bit of comparison work over the last few months between different manufacturers and various different rx passband ranges of external 5G filters to cope with the very serious 5G interference here and to cut a long story short iv'e found the best compromise for me and my problem has been to use an 'ALGA RED' 3.820~4.2GHz filter attached to a Norsat DRO lnb ... taking into account of filter losses to the system, this gives me very nearly as good performance from 3.810GHz upwards to 4.2GHz with no 5G interference to what i used to have before the 5G towers raised their ugly heads .... some very very low DX signals though are now failing to give a lock :(. Good luck with curing your 5G problem :Y. The ALGA RED 5G filter - 3.820 to 4.2GHz. [ATTACH type="full"]155033[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
