Thread: Bsc621-2 C/ku Lnbf

Tried putting the CKU LNB on my 40" P* dish, again C-Band was fine (As my previous 40" dish C-Band experiments) KU not as good.

So I put the CKU LNB back on the 6' dish (Upside down) with the notch at the 6 o'clock position.

Now getting 66% signal quality on The Patient Channel on AMC-3



Best results so far!

Modified holder and hand made scalar ring (By Alec, member here from Alaska).

Pete,
That scalar ring undoubtedly helps some with C-Band reception--but wouldn't it hinder Ku reception? Try removing the scalar and see what your Ku reception looks like.

Can you drop your 6' dish off here tonight?

I did try putting a smaller solid prime focus dish right in the center of the BUD but that never helped, when I was removing the small dish the signal quality did take a jump, so you "may" be onto something there......

Are you talking about the BSC621 ??
If it come out good, I may go ahead to get a permit and put my 6' six section to the back yard, I have a clear view from 93* to 148*.

UPDATE:: Never mind. An earlier post from PSB mentions that production has started on 04/03/06 and he is also indicating 6-8weeks of lag time. but if it is available already, it would be nice to know where and how much?

When we went to the dealer site, it only tell the information, no pricing info yet. Once it is ready, we would love to tell everyone about it.

Not available yet, in fact there seems to be only one in the country, as soon as they become available it would be posted here.


I started with a regular scaler ring!

Oooooooh....*very* nice. I may have to rethink my decision to go with a 90cm dish, a 1.2m sounds very tempting now.

I did NOT find it terrible with KU, just more of a compromise than the ultra low noise LNB's I am used to. Also I rushed the test and my BUD was not motorized at the time of the test. The test was also done between trips to CA. then FL.

Expecting GREAT things with the Standard KU version and my motorized BUD!

not a bad price the invacom QPH-031 goes for about $70 so the price sounds reasonable. looking forward for the sell date.
