Thanks very much. I guess it will probably be the 8515 which in brandnew condition seems to be the best thing offered on ebay. The Norsat is well over double the price in the same new condition. I only know of ebay.com. Heard of craigslist.org but I just saw that is subdivided in a zillion...

Thank you very much for your reply. Given the fact that the Norsats with greater stability with or without PLL are much more expensive while I don't use the C-Band dish dor narrow band SCPC radio, is there any advantage for me to buy those more expensive types or would you say that i might as...

Dear friends, since a long time I use a Chapparal OMT in which I use one Norsat 8515 LNB that has a 15 K noise figure. The other is from an Indian firm using the name of the formerly renowned US company Gardiner. Considering to replace the latter by another Norsat I assumed that it might be good...

I'm sorry, I told in the beginning that english is not my native language. I speak five languages fairly fluently and english is merely one of those five. So please understand that when you use more figurative ways of speech this can be easily misunderstood by someone whose mother tongue is not...

Yeah, and so this infantile conversation continues. "Sometimes it's hard to be human" is not insulting but pointing out that I use a human name and the author doesn't is an insult. Sure.... Look folks, I am a decent person who replied to all that was hurled at me. But this forum is not my main...

Yeah, you're so very right. That's why you call yourself A33 while I call myself merely Paul. A very non humanoid name, I know....

About signal strength I can't judge of course, I never was in the States since the Satellite hobby started. I do know that equipment wise things are very standardised in the US. This causes many receivers to be almost totally unusable here. I remember being asked to evaluate a receiver for the...

Dear Brian, Thanks for putting this whole conversation truthfully online. I fail to understand exactly what goal it exactly has, but I do confirm that what you posted is entirely correct and most likely complete. But what is to be learned from this exactly? I told you that I felt very...

Thanks for your response Brian. The thing about using the conical rings in combination with a C/Ku-Band LNBF was only something I added at the end, the main question was if the Chinese products were up to par with other available products, especially those from the US. Seeing you mention our...

Again such a presumptious response by someone who wants to fight a battle without any real knowledgeor cause. As you may see at the end of your third link parallel to what happened on the satelliteguys.us site a private email conversation has taken place of which you can't even have any...

I merely told danristheman why his suggestion wasn't an option for me. Nothing more. I had no idea that I started a shitstorm in which all kinds of people, now you, try to make a court case out of this. I quote from memory, and I'm sorry when I'm not supposed to have that. If you're so...

There's no drama involved, Brian, my objection against your way of speaking is that you seemed to think that as a professional I have no right to mention complaints that my readers made to me about your products. Of course I may report the things people write to me about. Besides I mentioned...

Dear mr. Primestar, You are a king in insulting but a pauper when it comes to adequate reading! I NEVER EVER made any judgement myself on this Titanium product, I never owned nor tested one. I merely mentioned the fact that I had received a number of reader's comments about it. And like I...

Brian, you may as long as you publish the complete exchange. I must admit that I do cite from memory, I don't think that I kept any of our mail exchange. As far as the "sour grapes" remark by Arion are concerned, I don't really know what this is all about. First of all, all products, yours and...

Dear Brian, Indeed it involves your response of a few years back in which I quoted some of my readers and by other people from a British satellite website people who were disillusioned by the performance of your PLL-C-Band LNB. You decided that it was "highly unprofessional" of me to quote such...
