The DirecTV SL3K4NR1-03

[Archive-8]

The other problem is I don't have a "mount"/ clip to strap it to the rail.

Zip ties? Gaffa tape?

If they can be mounted vertically then I can pack out a cband holder.

If they have to be mounted horizontal I will need to go and look in the shed/hardware shop.

You should be able to do something with a Square U bolt Chris.

[Trust]

Wich one is the better choice , SL3K4NR 1-01 or SL3KNR 0-03

Do you have a picture of the modded Fibo?

Here another one (not my job)

I've tested the -01 and -03 on both my Triax dishes (TD88/110) and found the -01 version inferior.

Maybe it's due either to the different feedhorn style and their matching to my Triaxes, or the -01 has a less sensitive GASfet device at the input.

However, as I haven't compared them on a different dish, my Gibertini for instance, maybe it's just the choice of dish I use them on.

Vipersan has tried them both (see previous posts here) and concurs with my findings for the most part I understand.

Thanks , looking for the -03 at Ebay nl , no sign , only -01 for €15.25 + €16.00 shipping
But looking at Ebay com for simular items , they charge $61.75 or $32.80
Found one -03 for $47.80 delivered .

I find the 01 better on my Channel Master 1.8 than the 03. I think it depends on what dish you have.

Do you search Craigslist as well? This guy might wanna part with one of his lnbs. http://fayar.craigslist.org/ele/4838271771.html

Over the last month or so I have been playing with the 01, 02, & 03 variants and also a variant that was designed to be used on a 1.2 mtr dish for Canada i think it was .
Iv'e yet to share my activities & pics with you all as yet but time restraints and work hinder me.
Using my Televes specky i found the 02 had the most gain, the 01 & 03 were slightly lower. The 1.2mtr version was even lower gain and was also quite a bit larger in size.
For me personally, matching onto a C/M 1.2mtr dish, i opted for the 02 for modification.

Got mine SL3K this week with 2 SUP2400 , at one already made the 5 volt mod .
Attached the lnb to my lnb changer on my Fibo 120 with lnb 1 in front of the subreflector .
Tweaked al little with AZ and Elv untill max needles at spectrum and scanned 19.2 E
Found that Horse feed with picture without tweaking the focus , wich I planning to do at better weather .
The lnb changer controlled by PLC has now only 3 positions by 3 endswitches .
I am planning to let it operate again with DiseqC 1.2 with a separate receiver (just for turning the lnb changer)
Putting the SL3K in the middle , between the KU an C lnb , gives me with the diseqc motor control the oppertunity to make 2 more positions .
So I can the KA left (1) and KA right (3) turn in focus for the subreflector .
Also planning the waveguide mod for H/V .

To me its not clear wich lnb is switched on at what setup (22 kHz on/off) , VS can you point me to that from the drawing ?
The SUP2400 (both) inline with a standard KU lnbf , give picture with the normal stored frequenties , it seems to do nothing with the KU signal .

 

[John]

... this from VS should help you

 

[Trust]

Thnx John , very clear now , blocking the KU port is a good idea .

 

[Trust]

Covered the middle waveguide with alu tape and the left KA lnb in focus , but very strange , I receive also the Ku TP 12663 H andwith the ORF Digital package .
With or without the SUP ( 5 v on or off ) , still picture of ORF .
At KA , 19716 Italy MIRAAF CH / 19728 Garigliano / 19926 NEWSNET caused by the wrong LOF .
wich one is the correct LOF ?

 

[scopus]

I had to put about 4 layers of foil over the Ku port before it stopped receiving anything off Ku. In the end, I wedged foil down the port and sealed it off with pattex resin.

 

[Trust]

Just took the SL3K down , tomorrow I will attach the feedhorn of my destroyed Triax KA lnb to it en cover the othter ports with lead .
