C-Band Orthomode setup, seperate KU dish and DisEqc motor and the microHD receiver.

[primestar31]

That's one setup I've used, but it obviously didn't work with my Univ lnbf ( can't cascade the 22khz ) . I've used it successfully with my dual output standard linear lnbf.

What's a real good dual output KU lnb to use?

What is the SG9120(b)?

Thanks

New models of KU motors. SG9120 (heavy shaft) 1.2m dishes, SG9120b (light shaft) 90cm dishes

Well, I'm going to first try just using a standard heavy duty Chieta 4x1 WSD-2041 DisEqC switch (because I have one now). Like this:

microHD receiver >> V-Box X >> SG9120b motor IN >>SG9120b lnb in >> receiver port on 4x1 switch >> LNB1 port on 4x1 switch to >> receiver port 4x8 WNC switch >> 0 khz OFF to both Norsat C-band lnb's.

Then, >>> LNB2 port on 4x1 switch to >>> SL1PLL single KU lnb

I don't see why that wouldn't work since the 4x8 switch is basically just a 22khz tone on/off switch, it seems it should be ok.

Only problem is both motor controls receive all motor commands. This can cause issues you may not like. Even though a VBox does not do USALS, it may do weird things in response to those commands. Some people have reported weird problems doing that. But others don't have an issue with the way it works. You can only try and see how it works for you.

If so, I also could just use the V-Box X as standalone. Not that much more of a hassle.
