Slinmline KA/KU Dish News

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have just received word that as of 12/18 dealers will start installing the new Slimline KA/KU Dish instead of the AT9 Dish.

Installing them will be easy like the phase 3 dish. The LNB is a one piece unit. The mast size is 2".

I can hear all your installers out there yelling THANK GOD.

Many installers have been using the slimline instead of the AT-9 for several weeks...

 

[Beavis]

Yeah, I'd say about 2-3 months now.

i have two of them sittin in the bed of my truck that are going in tomorrow. they will be #6 and 7 of the slimlines i have done to date.

also i went to show another installer how to fine tune the dish and when i got there he had a hybrid dish. apparently it came packaged with the at9 reflector and lnb assemblies and the elevation/azimuth fine tune section was from an au9. so be on the lookout for some hybrid dishs floating around

People, D* said the AT-9's will be installed till they are gone, so, all of you that are saying you've been installing them for about "2 months" have run out of the AT-9's sooner is all.

I got another slimline box set, but the LNB looks a bit different from the one I installed in prior weeks (AU), maybe another manufacturer made them.

Looks like that is probably the case.

i thought they said all the LNBS would be interchangeable like on the Triple sats, but if you look they keys are different on those LNBS for the KA/ku's

Looks like one set may be interchangable, but the other is not.

Those are eagle aspen lnb's which are crap.

All of them, I figured they would be different manufactures seeing how different they look.

Not all of them. The clear looking hoods are Eagle Aspens. The white hooded models are WNC.

It's like eagle aspen doesn't have a q.c. dept. bad ports on the lnb.

I think that ypu have it backwards..................Eagle Aspen's always had white "hoods," as you call them.

 

[murf]

Nope eagle aspen are Clear LNB's, and WNC are white lnbs. Go to your truck and read the label again.

Installation is pretty much the same as AT9.
