[QUOTE="Satfaca, post: 1167812, member: 297203"] You must have misunderstood, the PolarAmp posted is from the 80s ... from the golden era of C-band satellite reception in the US. I bet that scientific development peaked at that time aswell and nothing produced/developed later could or have had surpassed the performance of feedhorns anytime later. LNB's are other story. The original Chaparral Communications company somehow "died" in the late 90s with the transition from analog to digital satellite television and the evolvement of DirecTV & DISH Network. I've just posted this because I find the model very rare, in fact in my 30+ years of "suffering" with the industry/hobby I've never ever seen any info about its existance. I guess this forum now is the only source on the www naming it with the right name (thanks to [USER=401749]@Joolz[/USER]) - #PolarAmp. BTW, there are many different C-band only and C/Ku corotor versions existing, partly due to sucessful ADL's patent challange against Chaparral which had to change the design of their products (just browse for Polarotor/Polarotor II/Corotor I/Corotor II/Corotor II+/TriBand).
