[QUOTE="Llew, post: 1111780, member: 175007"] The screenshots show the comparison between my Hughes Band A China-made LNB and my Norsat 9000A. Each has an FD1000 feedhorn installed, with optimum conditions set for each LNB on the dishes I use for recieving tne Newsnet frequency. Checking 18556V, as shown, there is a slightly increased power level obtained with the Norsat compared with the Hughes, but obviously not enough for the LNB, which consistently fails to lock the frequency unless I'm very lucky over repeated tries. The same observations apply with the occasional OB frequencies on the band. Maybe it's a problem with my particular Norsat specimen - does anyone else using a Norsat 9000A encounter a simiar anomaly on Newsnet? Tests are on a Triax TD88, but I observe the same failure to lock on a Triax 1.1, with only a better chance of lock on the 1.2 Gibby.
