KU band has really sucked on this bsc-621 lnbf. I have a 10 foot dish and ku is weird. I will have on ku one tp booming in and another at 10% quality.
I have setup and tuned a lot of dishes and the C-band side of this thing works great but ku just is not right. Dish is tracking arc
F/D is at it's best and focal point.
I like voltage switched polarity but the combo lnbf's just don't seem to be great.
Here's my plan:
Buy an orthomode c and ku feedhorn. (dual ku and c lnbs)
4 coaxes down to a weatherproof grey plastic electrical box from home depot
coax 1 KU V
coax 2 KU H
coax 3 C V
coax 4 C H
buy two passive multiswitches: (dedicate one for C-band and one for KU band)
Connect the 13V port to the Vertical lnb
Connect the 18V port to the Horizontal lnb
connect the two cables from my 2x1 diseqc switch (one for C-band and one for KU) through my dsr-905 sidecar and out to the dish to each appropriate multiswitch.
When either receiver sends 13v dc It will switch to the vertical lnb
Same for horizontal.
It would require two passive multiswitches. One for c and one for ku
will lnb's for feedhorns that normally run 18v still operate at 13v?
Here's the horn I am thinking about:High Performance Dual C/Ku Band Feedhorn - PM-C/KU-OR2+2
