LNB question?

[hansokl]

Good afternoon!

I’m curious on the difference between the 3D2RBLNBR0-01 and the 3D2RBLNBR0-02 LNBs.

Im assuming just a newer model but does anyone know?

More than likely your thought is correct ...
It's either a newer model or a different manufacture, but I'm leaning towards the newer model.

Thanks! It looks different but works fine. Just was curious.

You'll be fine, and as a bonus, its a Reverse Band.
Don't know if we'll ever get to the point where a RB will matter now, but the idea was there earlier.

The -xx is manufacturer code. 01 is WNC, 02 is PBI/Eagle, 03 is Zinwell.

Thanks for the info ....
I didn't know for sure the -01,02 and 03 designations for the LNB's

Thanks! yeah working great now

Interesting... Thanks for the details!

For extra bonus points, do you know the mfr codes for Andrew and California Amplifier?

I'll take a guess .... without looking it up ...
05 and 07 ?
Or 04 and 05 ???

There's a -14 for LNBs but I don't know if it is Andrew or Calamp. Neither have made LNBs for years so it is irrelevant except for old KaKu LNBs.

I don't even know their mfr cods any more but CalAmp did make dishes, LNBs and mounts early on. Andrew had a very capable team designing one of the first KaKu systems but could never get some mechanical specs to pass and therefore were never turned on to supply dishes and mounts.

I wish I could go into detail about the Andrew dish and mount but those pesky non disclosure agreements get in the way. I can say if they had met specs and were turned on to produce dishes and mounts the alignment procedure we have today would be radically different. They had a brilliant consultant on the team with some very impressive analysis programs and ideas but whoever was responsible for understanding and fixing some mechanical problems never came through.

I wish there was a forum here for ex DirecTV employee stories, I got a boat load of um.

From the last report I got on it. The "-14" LNB mfr. code was for a company called "MTI."

For "Microelectronics Technology Inc." in Taiwan I think ...

There was always a lot of consolidation that industry so maybe MTI was later purchased by Andrew or Calamp, or the other way around?
