YEARS LATER....
I'm trying to pair this LNBF up to my Fortec Star Mercury II receiver, and I have no clue what to put in for the definition. There's a "user defined" option, but putting in the O/P range of 950-2050 is a dud.

Any experience to share out there?

That is a OCS (One Cable System) band stacked LNBF. The Horizontal and the Vertical transponders are selected by the LO and not by the voltage. The LNBF can be powered by 13-18Vdc.

To work correctly, the receiver needs to have an OCS 5150/5750 LNB type selection. I do not remember if the Mercury II had this selection.

If the STB does not have the OCS LNB type selection, the LO 5150 will scan both the horizontal and vertical transponders, but the vertical transponder frequencies will be displayed as horizontal polarity and the downlink frequency will displayed off by 700MHz.

Nope, it doesn't. I'm just going to use the 5150 setting for now. I realized that it was a "compromise" LNBF, so I have a replacement on order that should play better with others.

Many thanks!

P.S So grateful for this forum. I found my photos from 2011 when I put my dish up, and I commented back then which LNBF was installed. There is no way that I wanted to get on a ladder, mess with the cover, just to read the label on the LNBF. I'll be worth it to install the new one.
