    C238 LNBF Dual Output vs. C2-PLL with 5G WiMAX 4G LTE Radar Interference Filter

    He did not say it was PLL. However, "mr3p" asked about the PLL status in the first post of this topic, my reply was relevant to his question at the time of posting.

    C238 LNBF Dual Output vs. C2-PLL with 5G WiMAX 4G LTE Radar Interference Filter

    Yes agreed, C2-PLL has way better LO stability.

    C238 LNBF Dual Output vs. C2-PLL with 5G WiMAX 4G LTE Radar Interference Filter

    That C238 does not look like a PLL to me with the LO stability of 1MHz. It is 20 times the value of the C2-PLL.

    SDR C/Ku Sniffing?

    There are a lot of very narrow bandwidth C-Band frequencies on 95.0W (Galaxy 3C). Has anyone took a look at this satellite in the C-Band range with some type of SDR device?

    Help With Wiring Of Thompson Saginaw 36" Actuator

    The actuators were supplied by Thompson to a UK company named Kingston InMedia back in 2002. Kingston InMedia were subsequently bought out by Arqiva and were in the satellite media business so I am assuming that the actuators may possibly have been purchased for some type of satellite application.

    Help With Wiring Of Thompson Saginaw 36" Actuator

    Guys, Thank you for your replies. I had a closer look at a couple of the actuators and they seem to have Hall Effect switches based on the label attached to the black motor winding casing. I am guessing the Hall Effect switch has to be somewhere? I also noticed some numbering scratched into...

    Brand new Horizon 180 for sale

    If you are willing to ship to the UK and the price is sensible I will buy this motor. If you are not comfortable in organising shipping to the UK I can arrange a freight forwarder to collect from you and do everything. All you would need to do is make sure it is securely packed for collection.

    Upper C-Band 4.5 to 4.8 GHz

    I purchased a Titanium C1-PLL LNBF shortly after I ran the tests and found it gave improved performance over the Titanium C1-WPLL LNBF. I will possibly repeat the test if I move upwards to a larger dish. If you (Titanium) decide to get a 3.7 - 4.8 GHz twin probe LNBF manufactured I would...

    Upper C-Band 4.5 to 4.8 GHz

    I purchased a few of the Chinese extended C Band LNB's and found that they performed reasonably well. Not only do they perform OK in their specified 4.5 - 4.8 GHz range but they also perform reasonably well for the upper part of the normal C Band range. I have attached two small tables below...
