hi all was looking through my stuff and found a old feed horn with 3 lnbs on it its a chapperal feed horn with drake lnbsthe lnbs are longer then any ive seen id say about 7 inches long theres a tag on 1 wioth the numbers00003955 stamped on it 1 is horizonal and 1 is vertical and theres a round 1 i asume is ku band? anyway is this any good i know someone said in a previos post kinda depends on what you want to spend for lnbs also ive read u guys talking about digital feeds and new recivers and so on will these old lnbs be compatible with digital signal if i go to that in the future thanks again for replys really nice to find somplase where u can talk about these c band recivers with out getting that look u probly know the one and the why dont you qwit scewin around with that and get a small dish i persanaly like messin around with this stuff but to each his own
 
Sounds like you have an old Chaparral Bullseye feedhorn. For a C/KU system you're probably better off with a Corotor II+. The Bullseye has no skew adjustment on C band, only on Ku. Plus, you'd need 3 coaxial cables, 2 for C Band and 1 for Ku.
The major advantage of the Bullseye feed is simultaneous reception of H and V C band signals with multiple receivers. As for the LNBs, they sound old, but I would try them and see how they work. Some of the older LNBs still work fine with digital signals.
