[QUOTE="John, post: 1162683, member: 175005"] Very well put satesco, each C band hobbyist is governed by their own circumstances as to what they can do to obtain some sort of satisfactory reception - cell tower / towers proximity / local planning for large dishes etc. Iv'e come to the conclusion that my Cband DX days are 80% ruined at the moment and will probably get worse due to 5G interference from mainly two local towers about 300mtrs and 600mtrs away and i'm now in the process of constructing a 'lnb changer' for my 2.2m PF with a cheap lnbf for Ext C and a TiTanium 5G Red for the range 3.8GHz upwards just to get me some sort of reduced performance Cband reception, along with Ka / Ku / Extended Ku . Iv'e tested from the very cheap 5G lnb's upwards and they are not suitable , even an expensive Norsat 5G 3.82~4.2G lnb which cured about 75% of the problem on it's own and had to have an ALGA RED 5G filter on the front end of the Norsat to get about 95% interference free useage. Work on the prototype multi lnb changer continues and will be put in storage untill the final day of dedicated Cband rx becomes a reality. [/QUOTE]
