Is there any way to control polarity with a 9200 and Chapparel feedhorn?
I am trying to get away from the combo lnbf's. The dish is moved by a Gbox.
I know some of the older Pansat's had polarity control but the 9200 has nothing to hook the wires up to.
Every once in a while, someone brings this up.
There have been several members make up little projects which monitor the LNB voltage, and turn the servo accordingly.
You might search for the three or four threads, and see if any of those appeal to ya.
I have one of the new lnbf's ... but the performance of the corotor for c and ku seems to be much better.
There has to be a better way ... to get good reception on both c and ku.
I am trying to get as much out of them with only using a six foot dish.
The guys who want to squeeze more performance, usually resort to
OrthoMode feedhorns.
A dual-band model, plus four LNBs would be kinda spendy.
Not sure what you aren't able to get on your six foot dish, but maybe it's time for eight?
edit:
Oh, I see you have a 1.2m dish.
Maybe a single-band LNBF (C2 / DMX242) or inexpensive Ortho on your little BUD would give you better performance.
