Anyone using the Orthomode Feedhorn from TEK2000/Aliexpress ?

[pro96]

Are they any good? Also aliexpress has them for about $49.00 (no lnbs)

At that price I would say no. Last year there was some cheap chineese imports, that even Rick returned. Now a good Chaparral with a set of Norsat 5150's and a Modded WNC 4x8 multi switch is the cats meow.

Yeah, I've looked them over and they appear to be a junky clone.

Thanks guy for input. Those Chaparral orthos are just too hard to find nowadays.

I'll keep looking at craigslist and or ebay

You might look at these. C Band LNBs, C band voltage switching LNBs, C band & Ku band combined LNBF. Offset C Band feedhorns. WS C Band LNBs. 60mm clamp

I been using aliexpress ortho with my 5150's.I purchased for $15 2yrs ago edit almost 3 now. it has been fine. I also have 2 chapparal 1329 and a couple bullseyes but have not had time to do any comparison yet. Used the chap scaler was on my dish. Was leary because price too good to be true but has absolutely worked fine, if I had any issue would have swapped it out long ago. Maybe build quality varies and i just got a good 1. It is not a 1329 clone does not have machined steps like 1329 has, it has tapered transition instead.
