Multiswitch Question

[kdarcangelis870]

Is the Zinwell WideBand 6x8 switch that is supposed to be used for the Ka/Ku dish compatible with a PhaseIII dish? I can get ahold of one of these cheaper than a 4x8 on ebay.

Yes.

 

[boba]

Sure

The auction I am looking at says that the WB68 switch is not cascadable. Is this true? I don't think so because it is designed for the KA/Ku which needs a 22khz tone passthrough to access the 110/119 satellites. Does this switch have 22khz passthrough?

A 4x8 and a 6x8 both give you 8 outputs if you need more your looking at the wrong switch.

It's not cascadable in the traditional sense. What you can do is put wideband splitters on the the four input lines from the dish to the same inputs on the 6x8.
