Just Sharing This My Channel Master 1.8 project.

[nelson_b]

I preferred the T plate to the AVcom for overall results on my offset 1.8 and 2.4 dishes.....
not the case on the prime focus Prodelin though ... could not make a plate to perform as well as the AV - Com on that dish !

@nelson_b had kindly already given me the info, but I thought id wait for the one that ships with the tit LNB - no point in making one, if i still get interference as i'll be abandoing the whole CBAND thing and selling the tit

baby steps and all that

thanks all!

looks like it might be here tomorrow...

"Thursday, March 31 by End of Day"

Strap it on and throb on !

by the way i ordered two CBAND LNBS - one is a PLL and the other has the interference eliminator gadgetery - might have one for sale or both if i still get the interference.

Check the frequency range coverage of the LNBF's on their boxes or labels.

Depending on which model Tit's you bought they could have different frequency ranges.
I think all the Tit's are PLL nowadays but the 5G filter model has a narrower frequency range than earlier models.

Pics of the boxes and LNBF labels might be useful once they have arrived?

Manikm did you buy on Amazon dot com
Will there be any tax or duty to pay ??.

 

[Manikm909]

@butchyboy - i just switched within my .co.uk account to USA - and ordered as per normal.

no tax to pay - its just like a normal order.


and they're here!

 

[Manikm909]

SUCCESS!!!! (with the filtering one) - the other one had same issue.

That C1W-PLL is the base model, in my personal opinion unless you really need it get shot of it.
I found the C1W-PLL was struggling to pour Poop on 40.5W but the models with the filters were OK with decent margin.

The C138 is the newer model with the filters and the narrower frequency range, should be good for what you need.


Just seen your reply re "SUCCESS", confirms what I indicated above, flog that C1W-PLL to any toby who offers wad for it.

Nice one, over to 40.5W now for some Poop slurping.

The C138 model ..
Don't know how sharp the cut-off freq is for below 3.800 but on 55.5West there are a lot of feed frequencies, around 17, that are from 3712 up to 3.800 and onwards will be interesting to know - get sniffin

There will probably be a bit of leeway with the LNBF cut off point, we are waiting for our new member of "The C-Band Club" to report back as to how low it goes below the threshold.

With respect to 40.5W, I think most of the Poop frequencies are above the cut off point, certainly ESPN is above the cut off point.
I am hoping to see an ESPN picture from 40.5W at some point today.....

Yeah, nearly all the Poop stuff is above the threshold...

lol i will try when i finish work @moonbase - here's hoping. havent fitted scalar hood yet....or the plate for circular

 

[butchyboy]

Let us know how you get on with 40.5w
