Thread: Circular C-band LNB/ LNBF options for Atlantic Sats

I have a good view of like 15w to 61w in the yard and need to get a circular dish setup to get some of these. I want to start out by getting 40.5w and 22w. The available channels list circular settings. I have a 6 foot dish with a circular dmx242. Is there any particular skew requirement when setting up a circular lnb like this? I am also looking for a circular lnb that will bolt up to the standard 4 bolt feedhorns. If this 6 foot dish won't get the signals I will get them with the bigger dish. I want all of the Atlantic channels possible. I am also negotiating a new 7.5 footer radio shack dish that I hope to be picking up by spring.

Just like a DSS circular, just aim it at the satellite. Don't think there's skew to worry about. Only requirement, I think, is that the dielectric plate is 45° to the probes.

ADL-RP1-CP300

so would it be easy to stick something in a standard feedhorn throat to make it circular? I am thinking the 6 foot dish should get 40.5w up here in NH. Have you got any of these circular atlantic birds?

You don't have the
dielectric plate

? (Well, I've lost the one that came with my DMX241 LNBF) Can't see why a 6ft shouldn't work. I've got 53°W only, without using a dielectric plate, so the one TP I get is received on both polarities. I would lose 137 to about 113 if I mod the mount to go further east with the BUD.

I have the plate for my six footer but still haven't got anything with it. I have a 10 foot bud that I can use(not mounted yet) that same lnb on. I would like to get as much as possible with the six footer. There are like 6 satellites+ that I should be able to get from 15w to about 55w and a few of them are circular so I am hyped about this!

I use the corotor II plus wideband with Norsat 8115 and 4106a lnb's I love my circular c-band!

Are these lnb's readily available? what circ sats are you able to pickup up there? I am just a few hours south of you.

I would try an LNBF, less $$ and most of them come with a plate for circular polarity. I have an ESX-241 from one of the forum sponsors, it works well for linear and I would expect it to work for circular with the plate installed. I would like to try for some of those Atlantic satellites too...
-C.

I got mine locally from roger at rps. lnbf would work but thats if you only want circular, I will not be swapping the plate in -40 below hahaha.

I get 3 or 4 birds I think, mostly watch nss-806 and I think int-706 or 05 something?
