    OTHER C Band Orthomode Feed. How do you switch LNB's?

    Use a powered multi-switch with the paired ports modded to provide 18VDC to both of the C-band orthomode LNBs. Run the KU LNBF on an unmodded high band port. I remember some threads years ago with Anole, Magic Static and others regarding their ortho switching hardware.

    Testing the new Titanium C138 Performance Plus C Band LNBF

    Sorry for the delay. We have been working on several revisions to further tighten the bandpass filter edge. The units that had previously worked well on the bench under simulated 5G interference (prior to the N77 upper band launch) did not provide the same performance in real world testing. I am...

    Transmit C-Band???

    Not many C-band uplinks rolling around anymore. Suggest that instead, contract with KU-band uplink. Much lower truck roll cost, lower satellite booking cost and an appropriate link budget can be arranged by the uplink provider to provide the required resolution, footprint and reliability. If...

    Receiving radio transponders on 105w

    Not encrypted. ACM and VCM are modulation types. Not all receivers are capable of receiving these modulations. Likely the GT Media STB will (it is listed on the specs on current models). https://shop.tbsdtv.com/blog/variable-coding-and-modulation-vcm-and-adaptive-coding-and-modulation-acm.html

    Satellite Antenna Made From Umbrella & Emergency Blanket

    I assume that it is, but there is no branding, model or stamping. Incredible workmanship, design and hardware. I agree, could not see this installed as a permanent solution.

    Satellite Antenna Made From Umbrella & Emergency Blanket

    Message me if interested in reflector only or with AZ/EL and controller PTZ unit. An odd size item to ship (reflector is approx.16"x16"x72" 35lbs). Easiest for local pick-up.

    Satellite Antenna Made From Umbrella & Emergency Blanket

    I no longer use my 10' fabric dish. It was a fun project, but now is in storage. https://youtu.be/qcxFqXna2Ro?si=Gmov5YKNzZ_AzUKf

    Nano VNA and HackRF

    Be very careful with AliExpress. Pay only with a credit card. I had purchased a HackRF on AliExpress a few years ago and it quickly became a nightmare. Seller wouldn't provide tracking, drop shipped from another company, shipped two weeks late, delivered a cheaper version with an unshielded...

    Edision OS Mio 4k, What's the largest size external drive it can handle?

    While I thought that the OS Mio was limited to 2TB partions, I found this post by comfortably_numb from 2019, where he indicated that the Edision OS Mio recognized an entire WD 3TB drive. https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/how-to-use-an-ehd-on-the-os-mio-4k.381455/post-4349636
