I have covered all the TPs that I can find on Hispasat 1C/1D and you can obviously detect the difference between the Invacom QPH-031 and the SONSET LKU1-2A LNBF. For the majority, there is an average increase of 4% quality. For a couple of TPs, I could not even lock a signal at all with the Invacom, with the Sonset, I was at least able to bring those TPs up above the threshold level for my AZBox Premium (greater than 30% quality).

I wanted to analyze the entire Hispasat satellite at once shot since just this morning I had taken the readings with the Invacom LNBF. I wanted to ensure that the weather conditions were as identical as I could keep them.

The purpose for even trying a Universal Linear LNBF is to take advantage of the lower Ku-band frequencies that I could not get with the Invacom QPH-031.

I will have more information on this LNBF to come. But, my initial reaction to the performance of this LNBF is that it is very GOOD. I hope that there is or will be a model with dual outputs.

Right now, I need to take a short break. I will be back and checking the satellites that offer the low band of the Ku spectrum. I hope that you have enjoyed the critique so far.

Rob, I hope you are reading along... I have to say that this little guy does a great job from what I can detect so far.

Telstar 14 is probably my weakest satellite. I was generally detecting between 32 and 35% signal quality using the Invacom QPH-031. This is just over the threshold of my AZBox (which seems to be roughly 30%). With the LKU1-2A I am reading 49 to 50% quality.

I find this a very welcome improvement.

I have attempted to dial in some of the low Ku-Band signals, but I am not having any luck at this time of the day. The ones I am looking at right now are the feed channels on 58.0°W Intelsat 9.

Since the TPs here are listed as FEEDS, I expect that they are not broadcasting anything at 3- 4 am. I am not detecting a carrier, so I hope that this is the reason.

If anyone has a TP and channel on any sat in the low Ku-Band that at least broadcasts a test pattern 24/7, that would be helpful.

I've been absent from the forum for the past 7-10 days or so, working on a couple of projects..... and have come back to a bit of a surprise.

I hope your health is better now and continues to get better. You are in my thoughts.

This is a very comprehensive review and you've done a great job. I appreciate i

As always, hope you can put the LNBF to good use... Again, many thanks
