[QUOTE="el bandido, post: 1164262, member: 316102"] Hi I recently spent close to $600.00 U.S. for two 5G lnb filters. The price of filtering 5G will certainly fall, but right now filters are high. Some lnbf's will have or claim to have 5G filters. I don't know how well they work because I have a pair of Norsat lnb's. The trick to this 5G stuff is to understand what is happening. To do that, you need a signal analyzer to see what is happening and to see the actual 5G interference. You are blind without an analyzer and will be left guessing what the problem is or if the parts you install are even working. Your problem may actually be 5G or it could be something else. No way to tell for certain without an analyzer. The signal analyzer will need to cover at least 950 MHz to 2150 MHz. You will also need cables and and a splitter that has voltage only on One side so you can "see" what the lnb or lnbf is doing. Voltage cannot be allowed into the analyzer or you will burn it up. Signal analyzers are available here for around 50 U.S. dollars. I have two signal analyzers, one similar to what is shown below, and also a Tiny SA Ultra. Really you don't need anything expensive. You just need a basic signal analyzer so you can see what is happening in the lnb or lnbf. You are working blind without a signal analyzer. [ATTACH type="full"]157170[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
