Test of SWM LNB(99 101 103) on Phase I 18 inch dish? or SWM 3 LNB dish technical specification showi

[TELE Frontier]

I am very curious to know if anybody had a test of swm LNB on 18 inch old dish.

I am away from N.A so that is why I post my question here.

Anybody has technical specification showing SWM 3 LNB(99 101 103) dish?

Thanks in advance for your reply,

I know some have tried it with the oval 18x20. The old 18" the LNB won't fit in the arm.

What I really want to know is

1) comparison signal level between DIRECTV AU9-SL3 Three LNB Ka/Ku Slim Line Dish Antenna and Direct Phase I for 99 101 103 SWM LNB.

2) Link budget(signal margin) in the case of Phase I having 99 101 103 SWM LNB especially for Ka band

Won't work because 1 it won't fit and 2 you can't tilt the dish allowing you to catch the 99 and 103.

However, an 18x20 is only a few inches bigger, the LNB will fit, and you can adjust the tilt allowing it to work with lower signals in the 99 and 103.

Here is a how to.
