Thread: 6' ft C band whit two lnb.

Or to put it another way, the STAB HH-100 and HH-120 models, do mount with their post upward.
The HH-90, and all other models by all other makers (that I've seen) mount with the post downward.

Thanks, Anole, good to know when I test one in the future.

I have a question about scalar rings. If you want to have more than 1 lnb on a cband dish, what about the scalar ring for the others? Obviously the signal would be very much degraded. I can see having multiple lnbs with a Ku dish but with cband it seems a bit strange.

Sat Azimuth Elevation
99W 256 46.8
95W 252 50.6
91W 248 54.3

After reading this thread, i grabbed an lnb and scalar, went outside to the bud, and started checking for signal. the main lnb is at 91 and i get a fair signal at 99. the scalars overlapped by about 1 inch, so i traced it out with pencil and cut off the overlap. Drilled some holes in a piece of aluminum to connect the second scalar ring with the first, stuck the lnb in, tuned it a bit, and presto, i am watching 99 also.
thank u for your ideas in this thread.

can you put some picture of that, because i was thinking of that to get some more qualiti

i never posted before, so we will see if this works

These links have some great pictures, thanks Anole.
It appears that 4 degree spacing is a good place to start at when attempting the multi lnb approach, and success is linked to how far away from true south the lnbs are. I look forward to giving this a shot with my in transit $69.99 6ft WSI special. Hopefully I can get 91 95 and 99. My TS is 97.

k, changed it all around again. 5 lnbs , 87c,91c,95ku,99c,103c on same bud. Q varies from good to bad , but good tv watching on all the stations i was watching (before)with a single LNB in center.. i was surprised to see the lnbs want to arch.. when my openbox gets here, i will see if i can get any of those S2 signals from 87 as is.
I have to admit, i had to tweak the LNBs a lot to dial them in.
I ran outta cband lnbs so that is why the 95ku for now.
currently using a coolsat 6000 for all this. i am hopeful that the openbox can handle a bunch of LNBs also cause i can do 7 and have 8(some ku on dif dishes near the bud)
