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...

Thanks, but no thanks. I had a short discussion with this gentleman a few yearsa ago in which I got cussed out fiercely for having asked a critical question in public about one of their products. That is his problem as far as I'm concerned because I do a lot of product reviews in my country and...

For my 180 cm Channel Master Offset disk I wanted to buy a set of conical scalar rings. Living in Europe there are some things to consider: 1. Prices in Europe are sky-high while postal rates are minimal 2. Prices in the US are much lower but postal rates to Europe tend to be absurdly high 3. In...

I lost mine a couple of months ago in a storm. Functionally it doesn't matter, I wrapped my stuff in taped up strong plastic bag, But I sort of miss the (fake) solid appearance it seemed to give to my dish. And well, living in the Netherlands it would be far too costly to truy and order a spare...

Ik know, but I was asking about de description you gave of the feed that seemed to indicate that the same thing counted for C and Ku bands which would have meant that it were also suitable for circular Ku-Band signals.

Thanks for your explanations, Kevin and DK+Sat. To begin with the latter, does that mean that this feedhorn is also meant to work with Ku-Band circular signals? Since recently we have the Russian Express AT-1 satellite at 56 degrees East which uniquely uses circular polarization in Ku-Band...

How I make out; in terms of the studs it's an incredible mix of results. On some frequencies and some polarizations I am seeing gains that I haven't thought possible, at others the extreme opposite including the disappearance of some foremerly very week but reliable transponders. Most remarkable...

Hi Jkara, Thanks for this interesting information. I still have my Seavey ESR-124-H feed in mint condition laying around but I doubt if it will ever be used again. A dedicated circular dish sounds like a dream come true. However I would have to alter too much on the roof of our building to...

Thanks for the pictures. From 1983 until quite recently I only worked with a teflon slab as a means to receiver circular polarization. In effect, it took a very long time before I ever received any satellite with linear transponders, everything one could receive in the early years in Europe had...

Lieber Ponny, Ich glaube es dir sofort, habe deshalb keine Ahnung wieso ich vom Techniker des AV-COMM die obengenannten Informationen bekam. Ich werde mich nochmals erkundigen was mit deren Aussage genau gemeint wurde. Das von denen mitgeschickte Bild enspricht deine Bilder, bloß stand es...

Danke recht herzlich Ponny, Allerdings hat uns die Firma AV-COMM kürzlich gemeldet das man die Variante die sowohl für zirkullär als auch lineair eingesetzt werden kann aus Kostengründe nicht mehr herstellt. Also ist es jetzt nur noch ein Gerät daß man einsetzen kann wenn man auf lineair ganz...
