I heard that an Extended Ku band could exist. Could you please advice about that?
Is it a new frequency band or something related to the actual 10.7-12.75 GHz band?
If it is a new portion, which satellites are planned to use it?
Last but not least, which LNB can be used? It seems not so easy to cover more than the actual Ku band with a single LNB....
Thanks.

Just Sharing This - Extended ku - 13.4 to 13.65 ghz reception.

Thanks to Forum member Moonbase who very kindly imported a small quantity of custom Extended Ku 13.4 to 13.65 GHz lnb's for a few forum members to enable us to explore the arc and this new section of the Ku satellite band. The equipment should be fitted on my reflectors later on in the week to...

Hi, Do you guys know what this "12 New Ku-Band" is? New Ku-Band, is it a new frequency allocation in the spectrum?

If you want to buy an extended Ku-Band LNB off the shelf you might have to import from China unless you can find a European supplier?
I dont think there have been any reports yet of signals in the extended band but there are certainly LNB's being made that cover the frequency range.

Not interesting yet. I asked this just to understand what it is.
Thank you for the above links, is Türksat the only european satellite covering these new frequencies? Or are there more planned? Thanks.

Iv'e been monitoring Extended upper Ku for about two years now and really not too much at all to report
Monitoring Amos17 for about two years - was reported to have Extended Ku but not seen anything yet.
Turksat 5A @ 30.9 East has had a monitor / beacon on 13.404 V for a very long time now but nothing else.
Turksat 5B - nothing to report yet apart from the allocated beacons that are active at present on 11452.6 & 11704.5
