Got another 10FT

[IntelPennny4]

well i got another 10ft. i saw it when i was driving and stopped and asked the old man that lived there. he told me his life story which is ok bc i like listening . he told me to come back another day when it was more dry so today was the dry day i got it in the front lawn. string test is good ill post pictures. it says channel master on the nose cone. ill post more pictures as i go along with the install. i want to know if this LNBF is worth anything to anyone if so let me know

Nice find, congrats!

As for the LNB, well, it seems to be a typical Feed/LNB assembly. Usable with an ASC1 or with an old receiver. The noise figure of 50K is a bit high, so probably not worth the effort of making this work. Best to replace the feed assembly with a modern LNBF - better performance and a lot easier to use with current receivers.

Wow, great find!

Always enjoy seeing someone rescue a dish and put it back to good use. More guys should do this!
Yes, please post more pics and a journal of how it goes as you put it back up.

Congrats! Great find!

Personally, I prefer a feedhorn with servo. Allows each satellite and polarity skew to be optimized.

The 50 degree LNB is pretty old technology. Replace with a new lower temp/ higher stability LNB and you will have a great performer!

Yay

so im posting a picture of 125w and want some input. do yous think i need to cut the tree to the left of the picture down?

 

[KE4EST]

Yes. When it leaves out it will be worse than now.

From a satellite point of view a little trimming should be sufficient. But from an aesthetic view point, Get the stump too

ok boys and maybe girls i got more pictures so here ya go and enjoy. want to know if the motor is a good one? thanks

That’s a real beauty you got there. I wish I could put up a BUD, but everything seems to be working against me.

That is not an LNBF! That is a C- BAND feedhorn with a C-BAND LNB and a skew motor!

looks like it's a 20 K noise temperature. That's almost on par with the current stuff. The stability of the local oscillator might still be a question though. But I have one that looks almost identical to yours (just a bit noisier) and it's been good. I use it for circular C band.

so can anyone tell me what good this is??????????? is this used for high ku band aka dish

KU band LNBF for North American FSS transponders 11.7 - 12.2GHz (regular FTA). Dish Network and DirecTV typically use the 12.2 - 12.75GHz range.

looks good to me! Good stability, decent noise figure, standard frequency range suitable for most FTA Ku satellites (not suitable for 34.5W, 15W, 78W and some of the beams at 117W)

Channelmaster is a great dish. Got one just like it.
