WANTED 4 degree spacing LNB's

[comfortably_numb]

Anybody have any old SL1 bullets or Invertos? Looking to do 97 and 101 on one dish.

I have a couple of SL1 LNBs but the cost of getting them from here to you wouldn't be worth it. Also, they aren't PLL LNBs so are inferior to modern PLL types. Besides, I want to keep them myself anyway for possible future use.

With assistance from Keith Brannen, in the past, I've used a Shaw Satellite 60 cm elliptical commercial dish with its original dual LNB installed to receive 97W / 101W and also 99W / 103W. These dishes locally are easy to get and sometimes are free since new subscribers get a new dish for free at start of service. Maybe you can find similar locally there?

The 60 cm or 75 cm dish is small but adequate for 97W, 99W and 101W. And they're simple to install.

Thanks for the idea, but I doubt we'd find a Shaw dish in New Mexico. And the used Dish Network LNB's here were designed for Turbo 8PSK, not FTA.

you might want to check if you can salvage a few old Dish Network "Superdish" feeds - those were made for 119 circular and 121 Linear, so only 2 degrees apart, but with 2 double feeds there might be ways of making it work. The NHK transponder on 101w might be strong enough to be receivable through the circular feed with the right LNB. Note that the old (Aspen?) LNBs that came with those feeds were very mediocre and their LO frequency did not age gracefully.

You are in luck, I might (SL-2's.) I found one of the bullets. I just need to locate the second one. They are both dual outputs. I also have the 4 degree LNBF holder that GeosatPro used to sell with the GloryStar kit for the 90cm GeosatPro/AzureShine dish (97/101). Along with some other goodies. Your cost, a green chile cheeseburger at the Owl. Maybe some onion rings. Let me know.

I'd say you've got yourself a deal! (assuming you find the other bullet LNB)

I use a Hughesnet dish (36") and normal lnbs (Geosatpro/Amiko) and get 97/101W. They're right against each other, but works fine.

I was never able to get that to work. Have you modified the LNB's at all? Any photos?

Nope, see below from my snow photos, 97W is the one on the right (main), 101W is to the left (sidecar)
