Getting circular sigs

[ChuckS2]

Guys - I have a working steerable fta system and really enjoy all the linear transponders up there.
Now I would like to get the circular stuff on AMC16 / EchoStar 7 at 119W like NASA and the audio channels.

If I mount an Invacom Circular / Linear Ku 0.3 dB Quad LNBF QPH-031 from Sadoun on my dish
how will it work with a Fortec Star Lifetime Classic NA ? What type is it and how would I change
linear or circular polarization? The manual says 10750 is used for standard and 11250 for circular.
What would I use for the Invacom ? Two cables and a switch ?

Thanks for the great hobby!

a 22 mhz switch or disquec will work.

For the invacom, Linear is 10750 and circular is 11250

AMC16 is goofy as its KU Band circular so it comes in really really low signal. Nothing on there but a test card. But on 119 there is a lot of stuff

you could use that or if you have an old DirecTV or DIsh LNB (single or dual) you can put it next to the existing LNB. Sure it will be off by 6 degrees but its cheaper

either combine them with a 22k switch or a Diseqc switch

LNB LO for the Linear side is 10750 and 11250 for circular

Ok - is this right: the Invacom has 4 outputs. Two are the linear LNB and two are the Circular ??

Thanks again.

yes...that is correct

 

[Mr Tony]

and you only need one set per reciever

The Invacom Quad is really like two dual output LNBFs sharing the same feedhorn. One is a dual output Ku linear and the other is a dual output DBS circular. That's the best way to think of the Quad.
