New Lnb changer

[Lazarus]

I can assure you it is perfectly possible and not dependent to how tall are you.

I think he might be a closet Sunflower.

 

[Captain Jack]

Take Milamber's measurements. They will be more accurate than mine.

 

[Captain Jack]

Besides, I assume the whole thing will have room for adjustments - we can always adjust for best signal even without mm perfect measurements.

Well I for one am not going to take measurements while listening to S club seven, or while using Steps

 

[Lazarus]

Why?

Are you feeling Blue, or What. What. What.

 

[RimaNTSS]

I doubt it is possible to place LNB in antenna's focus by means of measuring signal, that is IMHO. BTW, officially Laminas states antenna's effective dimensions 1800x1950mm. Something is very wrong here.

No, at the moment I´m turning green, Dr Banner!

 

[Captain Jack]

Rimant, i know what signal levels I get now, so if the lnb rotator is adjustable to some extent, surely I can find a spot of where at least the lnb is now - on its mother holder.

Bollox! LAMINAS. AS-1800 Offset Dish

 

[Captain Jack]

There you go. Official figures are within a mm of Milamber's numbers. Use his!

 

[RimaNTSS]

Is THIS is the same dish?

 

[Archive4]

The only major difference is the focal length. Laminas state bottom of dish to face of lnb, Trust1 wanted to know bottom of dish to centre of lnb holder.
Hence about 1.5 cm difference!

Is THIS is the same dish?

Possibly, but I´d take the measurements from the manufacturer rather than a re-seller. Look at the small print.

• Effective Reflector Size 1800 x 1950 mm
• Operating Frequency 10,7÷12,8 GHz
• Gain
  10,7 GHz 44 dBi
  11,3 GHz 44,5 dBi
  12,6 GHz 45,4 dBi
• 3dB Beamwidth
  10,7 GHz 1,1 deg
  11,3 GHz 1,1 deg
  12,6 GHz 1,0 deg
• Focal Length 1100 mm
• Offset Angle 25,8 deg
• Feed Clamp Diameter 23/40/60 mm
• Max. Mast Pipe Size 95 mm
• Operating Temperature C deg -40 to +50
• Reflector Material Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy (resistant to salt, air pollution)
• Colour light grey (other colours also possible)
• Package Size 1950 x 210 x 1810 mm(outside dimensions) 1÷4 units in Cardboard box
  Totally not possible to pack a 1950 dish in a 1950 packet, also max is 2 as1800 per box, I know, I ordered them!

I am happy to be the guinea pig for the Laminas rotator. It's bound to be better than having LNBs side by side away from focus.

Of course, I could just install the CM but where's the fun in that?

 

[RimaNTSS]

Another re-seller, also 1800 x 1950mm 180 cm Sat Antenne , 770,00 €
And another one Offset Dish from Laminas Sp. Z O.O.. Manufacturer of Offset Dish Antenna from poland

Well, you cannot have a second guinea pig, so I guess I could be the hamster!
Did I forget to highlight that stupid offset angle from the re-seller site?

• Offset Angle 25,8 deg

Ha Ha Ha 22.6!

 

[Captain Jack]

Rimant, believe me, these are outside measurements and not the working surface area.

Another re-seller, also 1800 x 1950mm 180 cm Sat Antenne , 770,00 €

Yep, they copied the same wrong information

 

[RimaNTSS]

Ha Ha Ha 22.6!

You would probably be surprised, but dish with WOD 1800 x 1935 will give 21,5* offset angle and no way it can be 22,6* as officially stated by Laminas company. I think, somebody, who has contacts with Laminas should ask them a question about this issues.

From the man who tried to sell it to me as 25.8!
