DTN dish

[markbone100]

I have recently come across a surplus DTN dish, believe its a 24" dish. Currently the LNB is the single polarity type common with the dish. Think I have one of them universal type lnb's for the FTA dishes as a spare. I really doubt it would work so the main question is:

Can I find a replacement LNB for this for dual polarity? Satellite of interest is G17

Most likely an easy replacement. Could you post a picture of the LNB and feedhorn just to be certain?

You can clamp a generic linear on it, or use a DN FSS if you don't mind bandstacked.

That dish has to be bigger than a 24"...can you post a pic of the dish?

Betcha it's 30 inches, just like my former DTN dish. There should be ID numbers molded into the backside.

Yep its a 30", must of had 24 stuck in my mind for some reason. Mold number 75-M1

Thanks! That thread came in real handy. I did find the other LNB, its an GKF-668. Not sure if it will work or not but once the dish is mounted ill try it. Either it will work or I will be getting a more compatable LNB. I missed the boat on a cheap DirecPC lnb here not too long ago

Yes, I just re-read that thread. It was a darned fine one!
Covers just about everything ya'd need to know about those LNBs.

Impakt Products has surplus/refurbished/used/new/similar/original LNBs on this page.
About half way down, click on the simple looking, silver beer cans.
The more expensive unit with a single connector, is the traditional voltage-switched unit.

The cheaper LNB with two connectors, puts out V on one, and H on the other, ONLY.
You can combine the two outputs with a 2x4 (or 3x4, 4x4, 5x4, 4x8, or 5x8) multiswitch, which you'd most likely need in any multi-LNB setup anyway.

The company may also offer feedhorns (you might have to call them), LNB covers, replacement LNB support struts, dish mounts, and other related items.
