2 C Band LNB 2 degrees apart

[carlospr43]

Does anyone knows if taping 2 c band LNBs together can do 2 degres apart??? I'm planning to get 103W and 105W doing some rework on the plates. This is on my SAM I 12 footer fixed, thanks

tried it with my 8' unimesh, it gets 103 and 107 instead.
on my 10' unimesh, i do get 40.5w and 43w with excellent results.

Sounds interesting!
Are you talking about lnbfs? BSC621; DMX741; ESX521; ESX522?

Were the 2 LNBs taped side by side close enough? or you just placed the scalar plates together side y side?? The scalars need to be modify when taping both LNBs together. I have one LNB in the oposite way with the scalar plates side by side and it give me 97W (using 103W as main), so that will be 6 degrees. So I'm assuming that modifying 2 plates so 2 LNBs can be taped together side by side will give me close to the 2 degrees I need to get 105W.

using bandstacked, can flip one upside down and then they are right next to each other.
eagle aspen b1sat c-band stacked lnb.

carlospr,
i machined the slot to go just to the other lnb.
I think ice made a mod that actually had the lnbs touching.
here is a pic of the unimesh with it. this LNb came with nice beefy scalars that could take a beating.
Nothing glamorous, just bolted it in and tried it. all attempts to add a scalar to the outer lnb, failed.

you are showing a greater distance then i have with my 97 /103 /107 combo. maybe cause you have a 10'er?
I would try it if i were you.
I also want 105 real bad, but i may have to add another bud to get it.

edit ;with the search skills of a lesser Anole
i found one of the old posts, here is it

How about park the dish half way between the two. I did this by accident today and was getting all tp's on 101 and 103 in both sat lists.

i might give that a try, but since i already have a dish with a lnb at 107 and 103, i will be attempting 101/103,105/107.
boy is this weekend going to be fun!

What size dish were you using?

8ft.
Probably not quite 2º compliant and is why it can see two sats sometimes.
