Advice Needed Labgear PSA120 "Active Splitter" (10-2300Mhz) - any have a spec sheet?

[jeallen01]

Afternoon

Been having a look in the "junkbox" and found the above, which I think I might need to reinstall & use with VMA's SSA.

However, I think I lost the actual spec sheet several years ago and it does not now seem available to download from the Philex/Labgear website - therefore does anyone had a copy stored somewhere that they could PM to me?

If so, thanks in advance for that.

It is a wideband two way splitter - 12dB amplification , powered by either 12V or from the satellite receiver tuner.

Not a lot else to add, apart from you mentioned the same item five years ago, deaf to DiSEqC commands, which would make sense since the minimum port transfer frequency is rated at 10MHz.

Using the "138MHz-4.4GHz USB SMA Source/Signal Generator/Simple Spectrum Analyzer" for TV/CATV/SAT

vma I'm absolutely sure that this has nothing to do with you! If you look at the 2nd quoted part of the message you see this box The problem seems to be specifically targeted at Thunderbird users - and could relate to that "thing" called "AppleWebKit", which is presumably the "tool" that is...

Thx - I had totally forgotten about that thread!

Anyway, in a bit, I'll try it out again to see if it will now work on with DiSEqC commands.

If it doesn't pass diseqc commands, chances are that 22kHz-continuous is also not passed?

For the all ports DC pass it is not indicated, if it is unidirectional, or bi(tri!)directional.
In the latter case, power from one receiver could reach the other receiver. I'd be carefull there!
(But this you can easily measure with a multimeter.)

Not got around to a DiSEqC check yet, but a simple multimeter check proved that there is no DC path from the input to the outputs(not surprising, seeing that it has an amp of some sort inside (couldn't take a look inside - looks like the cover was soldered in place as there are no screws).
