In connection with some signal scans of 38.0 East in C-Band I decided to get a couple of fake ADL linear polarity C-Band feeds fabricated. One feed was for a genuine ADL WR229 single port flange with a Norsat 3120 PLL LNB, the other feed was for a Titanium WiMax LNBF. I used the dimensions from a genuine ADL circular polarity C-Band pipe as the basis for the fake linear feed pipes.
I bought some aluminium round tube from eBay and went to see a man with a lathe. The finished items have a good quality look and feel to them but initial tests suggest this project might be another wad spunker, more cash thrown at another useless satellite brain fart.
I have attached some pictures below. The pictures might be the best thing from the project, the scan results with the Titanium LNBF dont look good. Anyone wanna buy a fake ADL pipe?
