Some info please about a Sat6212-741u Universal LNB

[Crazy Sat]

Hey Guys,

I am from Belgium in Europe and i am interested in feedhunting . I have saw this LNB that is a combi (universal) LNB for C and KU Band.
Here in Europe we have some sat's who transmit in C and in KU Band, so i am wondering if i can use this LNB here in Europe ? I have a gregorian deltastar 120 cm with feedhorn , so maybe there is a possibility.
Anyone have experience with this LNB ?
Maybe someone has such a LNB and is willing to send it up to Belgium ?

I am open for your advices and thanks in advance.

A combined C-band and KU-band LNBF is a compromise for both bands. These designs will provide a convenient solution for providing voltage controlled polarity reception on both bands, but with reduced performance.

The LNBF is designed to be mounted on a prime focus design dish with a FD in the .3 - .4 range to obtain acceptable results. To be frankly honest, these are not a great product for feed hunting. It would be interesting to comparison test on your dish design as an experiment, but 1.2m reflector size will typically only provided reception of only the strongest C-band transponders when optimized.

I am sure that a member could PM you with suggested resellers of this product design if you think it will meet your requirements. I would instead recommend a dedicated 2.5m+ dish with C-band LNBF and a smaller 90cm or 1.2m (like you have) for only KU-band. I am sure that you will be much happier with the results!

I have never been satisfied with combo lnbfs. A lot of performance loss imo

Yes can be. In that case i can use a single lnb for C-band only. In my situation on the 5°W if have certain feeds on the C-band.
What type of lnb can i use , because in Europe this single lnb's for C-band are difficult to find. I think i have more change in US than in Europe.
