Bsc-421 Lnbf

[W_Tracy_Parnell]

Thinking of getting one of these for a "mini-bud" project. A couple of questions:

1. What is the difference between this and the ASC-421?
2. What dishes will work with this? I would be looking around for a free dish for right now.

Thanks

Well, looking at this:

and this:
http://www.dmsiusa.com/c-band_lnbf.htm

I would say the difference is the BSC421 has been improved for more stabillity and lower noise. At least that's what it says on this website:

BSC421
C-band LNBF
Digital Ready C-band LNBF
Improved over the ASC421 for better stability and lower noise

Edit: Oh yeah, they are both C-band lnb's....

Thanks Al!

The below info came directly from the importer

"BSC is the latest technology. By consolidating many of the components into a chip, they are able to have better stability and lower noise while increasing the gain.


BSC technology also lowers the failure rate. Although the ASC LNB/Fs had a very low failure rate, the BSC technology is proven to have a even lower failure rate.

BSC technology is the biggest advancement in LNB/Fs for years"


Seems there will be many more BSC LNB's in the works (Duals / Quads....)

I'll probably go with the BSC then. If the gain is a little higher it should about match the C/KU LNB combo which if I remember right you reported had maybe a 3-5 % gain over the ASC.

Thanks

C-Band duals?? That would be nice

C-Band duals?? That would be nice

Hope so, but I think they mean we will also see BSC technology on Standards and Universals.

Like the BSC321...
