Titanium, any update on when you might have inventory of Blue 5G filter LNBF?

Sadly I'm starting to see 5G interference with my C238PP so looking forward to the arrival of the new C240 Blue Filter. I may have to reconfigure as dual LNBF setup as I suspect there will still be feeds I want to see below 4000.

Thanks for the quick reply. After correcting skew from vertical to horizontal, C238PP working great

Had 10 min free today and thought I'd swap out my prior LNB for the Titanium C238 Performance Plus LNBF. I didn't look close at the skew before I remove the LNBF and vaguely recall there being something off regarding the 0 degree positioned labeled on the LNBF? Running back and forth outside...

Hi Titanium, Is the C238 version currently listed on your website the new version with improved filter? I wasn't sure as it doesn't say performance plus or any reference to new 5G filter. Thanks again for making these available.

Does an updated DSR922 receive any channels different from any other FTA receiver or is it just used a positioner?

Is there a C238 "performance plus" model in the works? The filtering below 3800MHz looks great. I'm not an expert in interpreting these graphs but am I correct that relative to the original model, the new model (5G filter) also results in (H/V) decreased RF level from 3800-4000mhz and...

Tek2000 used to sell it although I just looked and its out of stock. IIRC dish mesh is considered an expanded metal so you may need to make some phone calls. https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/kti-polar-mount.388712/post-4521918

To quote one of your prior posts, "It doesn't make sense to spend time and money in vain when you can overthink things first to ensure you have alleviated as much of the downside beofre arriving to a final decision." You could absolutely try an unfiltered LNBF exactly as N6BY stated although...

I wouldn't view 5g as an obstacle as that can be overcome with a new LNBF if needed. IMHO, your biggest limitation is your LOS and 8ft dish size. Mesh can be replaced and rust can be removed on your mount but you're going to have to spend time and money and you're going to need a friend to...

One thing I always wondered about the dual C/Ku LNBF which had the Ku attached to the back, doesn't the Ku position far behind focal point matter or once the signal is in the feedhorn it doesn't matter? It would also seem like the LNBF C-band components would block signal getting to the Ku LNB...

I have the same dish and agree with everyone else you definitely need some help getting it aligned properly. For SoCal, your true south satellite is likely either 117W or 119W depending upon location and the max elevation is ~50 deg. I haven't followed your build but did you scout out the...

You could be right about missing rim although to me it looks more like the tree branches have grown into the dish and are obscuring view of the lower rim. Wish I had space for it.

Could be a great find if you have the space for it and help with disassembly and transport. Hard to tell from picture and not that it can't be repaired but looks like the bottom panel is missing some mesh.

I spent a lot time trying to add a Ku LNB to my 10' dish and was never happy with the results which were consistently poorer than my 39" Ku.

Thanks Arlo, incredibly useful info. I consulted a welder friend of mine who I know has experience welding Aluminum but didn't get into specifics yet. As this is all new to me, isn't T5 and T6 essentially the same alloy? I'll post a couple of pictures of the existing Aluminum joints and the...

Thanks, I'm assuming that means 6061 T5? Any idea if you can weld T6 to T5 and if welding "undoes" the heat treatment? We successful MacGuyver'd a rectangular tube bender with wood dowels and clamps to restore the the normal dish arc without having to remove the mesh or heating it up with a...

I may need to repair a pair of the support ribs on my 10' KTI dish which bent at the mount point. There is no good way to get it into a square tube roller so I think if I heat it up a torch I should be able to bend it back to normal curve using a form made from a normal rib. I was then...

Thanks KE4EST. Sorry for not getting back sooner.

Found the manual, issue resolved :)

Not sure what I might have done but every time I push a button on my Vbox II remote it displays "Loc" which I assume means lock. I can still manually move dish directly from Vbox but how do I remove the remote lock? Holding down the lock button on the remote does return the display to the...

I don't check 95W very often but I just did a blind scan and found nothing. No transponders.

I just scanned 97W and ABC feeds are there... all 4:2:2 and still not watchable without a PC tuner card or streaming to a separate device.

Is this the 4:2:2 feed?
