You better choose option "Insert Thumbnail"

Edit: I don't have this option anymore for other posts... maybe another user/admin to edit

thank you.

Good or bad idea post full or attach images/pictures?

Use the "Attach Files" option and select "Thumbnail". It will upload the picture and keep it small in the topic but it will be available full size when a member clicks it.

Thank you, the 4521 R signal is not listed on the two web sites often used by UK satellite enthusiasts (FlySat and Lyngsat)

Yes... here we did the updates daily there are a lot of sat-enthusiasts here.

Next vacation I'll test 40.5W to find more channels (4.5 ~4.8 band)

 

[John]

Yes.. tested 65W , but some friends show pictures with Viacom and some channels 4k (40.5W). Now, I don't have time to test 40.5W, but I have lnbf.

Here , I bought this lnbf (made here in Brazil): about 20 eur (105 R$)

LNBF AP30 PLL BANDA C MONOPONTO 4.5 ~ 4.8 Ghz - BRASILSAT -

There is a good way to do/make this kind of lnbf using some informations...

Hi Frank, very nice dish farm you have there with sizes that we can only dream about over here in the UK.
The link to the E-shop Satélite site has some very interesting extended C-band equipment on sale - i wonder if they would ship to the UK

Kingkad had a 3.8m Prodelin running well () in Purley, but has downsized to a 1.2m Channel Master . He might get the original dish operational in the near future.

When I spoke to him a few weeks ago the Prodelin 3.8m dish had been dismantled, was in storage and up for sale. It was for this reason that I did not include the dish in the table. If he has plans to shelve the sale of the dish and have it re-installed I will add it to the table.

If the seller is willing to ship to the UK it would probably need to be a group buy of multiple units to make shipping costs realistic?

Ok thanks ..... I'm all ok for extended C-band reception but for what that lnbf in the link cost it might be tempting for others to dip their toes in the water so to speak. The poloriser barrel looks tempting as well

@frank-sinatra

Have you got a modification to a standard C band LNB to get it to achieve the extended C band frequency range?

I missed the polariser barrel on their website, have you a link to the specific item. Prices look a lot more "friendly" than what we are used to in the UK
