Wher can I get a new Channel Master Feedhorn?

[DishDick]

Hi, as the tittle says anyone know a supplier that stocks them, I have searched the internet, and can only find satellitesuperstore. Anyone know another supplier?

Thanks

 

[iceman]

they seem to be the only supplier in Europe..

 

[DishDick]

Ok, guess I wont be shopping around then.

contact allsatcom in the North of France. They are a very big Andrew / Raven reseller. They sell also spare parts. Very friendly sales people and efficient. Prices are great.

Thanks charly20, will do.

Make sure you get the correct feedhorn, there are different Channel Master feedhorns matched to specific frequencies. You need part number 611606007.

Don't get anything other than a genuine original Channel Master 611606007 feedhorn - anything else will be a waste of money.

Perfect. Thanks everyone.

embalse, thanks again. Have ordered. Was a better price and more convinient for me.

embalse, have you used this company? Its two and a half weeks since they had my money and I have recieved nothing. Chased them up by email and they said would be said it would be delivered in 24 to 48 hours (48 would have been Friday). So not impressed. Have had items sent from Poland, Germany and England in 2 or 3 days. Thought it would have been quicker coming from Spain.

Sorry to hear you have not yet received the Feedhorn.
I have not had any any problems and I have not heard of any bad reports about the company.

Maybe they did not have any in stock and have had to order one?

Let us know when you receive it.

embalse, it has just arrived.

I have had a really bad day (spanish plumbing - need I say more) and my brain is fryed. Trying to understand the instructions. Shows waveguard
port settings for linear and circular polarity, for vertical and horizontal polarities. I am fitting to a quattro so need both vertical and horizontal polarities. not sure what parts I need to fit to this pesky feedhorn. Help please.

just bolt the lnb to the feedhorn, those settings are for cband i think and not needed for ku band.

 

[DishDick]

Thanks. I did do that. When I get a chance to test I will report back my findings. Hope this beats my previous feedhorn and MTI lnb. But unless there is a serious improvement, this will be where I leave my hobby and get myself a life. (You know you are a little bit sad when people make you birthday cards with Sky boxes on and you get gifts that are to do with satellites or tvs and you are known as the satellite man. Would rather be known as a stud!).

It is easy to put together.

Just make sure the O-ring is seated probably and that there is a good tight seal between the Feedhorn and LNB., as you do not want any water getting in.
There are 8 holes , but only four should align correctly, so use 4 screws.

Here is a pic of one I put together.

Dishdick, could you post a close-up photo of that feedhorn? I used one last year but an LNBF out performed it. Maybe it is the wrong one but it doesn't have a part number on it so I'm not sure. Anyone know how to recognise which one it is?

I used one last year but an LNBF out performed it.

What LNB did you use? hard to believe an LNBF out performing Channel Master feed + invacom C120 (preferably a quad) on a Channel Master offset dish.
