[QUOTE="satesco, post: 1167802, member: 297935"] I had the same curiosity for this LNB, but in the 90s it was priced, as it is now, exorbitant for my budget. I bought it a few years ago, more for the fame it gained in those years. I used it on my 1.50-meter dish, and the results aren't too impressive. This is due to my lnb clamping system, which I designed for a small antenna. On top of that, I also have a physical inconvenience, that is the antenna is suspended at a great height, which doesn't allow me to make adjustments to the LNB as I would like. But even so, I did some tests with it in C-band. I'm not sure if I would get a better result if I had worked on a large antenna, at least 2m. But now, when the C-band is used between 3800-4200 MHZ, due to WIMAX interference and others, the scanning results are not like before cell phones. And Chaparral is no exception when it captures the useful signal and noise at the same time. In areas with strong interferences, this lnb reacts the same way as those that are not protected (this is a way of saying, because even after 3800 MHZ some frequencies are affected). After all, I use regular lnb and with the dielectric plate I have better results. Here are some examples with Chaparral, and let's say, Galaxy Inn & Kaonsat (I can choose other lnb) at 40.0E. Probably with newer versions of Chaparral one can get better results. I'd like to be conflicted, but this lnb is not for the dxer looking to lock weak signals. [/QUOTE]
