65mm LNBF holder for offset dishes

[Sadoun]

We have just received a shipment of 65mm LNBF holders that will fit on the Fortec Star 100cm and 120cm offset dishes. This large size LNBF holder will allow you to mount a c/ky band large diameter lnbf on these dishes.
The holder will be listed shortly on this page: http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Order/LNBFS/LNBF-HOLDERS.htm

Wicked cool product
now some killer feedhorns and Lnb's that work with feehorns and we will be set for some silly experimentation

So I have acquired a BSC 621-2 C/Ku band lnb.

I have business trip scheduled for late July in Columbus OH and will stop by Sadoun to pick up a bigger dish.

I do not have a lot of space. A 6 foot prime focus dish is probably too big, the 4 foot offset would work OK in my settings. I have trees blocking my line of site, although I can get decent results on Ku band using 30" dish. It does peek thru the dips of spaces between the trees.

My plan is to use my SD312M rotor with 120cm offset dish, mounting this new LNB to it to play around. Using Fortec Ultra at this point.

What kind of results can I expect?
Am I wasteing my money on a 120cm dish?
Should I go for 6 foot, and leave stationary - as I'm not sure how I'd get it rotating, it would be mounted on my garage roof as it is...

Is the LNB I have digital only, or will it get analog (assuming I get an analog C band receiver).

As you can tell, I'm very green on C band stuff.
Comments?

the bsc621 will not do analog. the 120cm dish should get you some c band signal if the sats don't have alot of active transponder on the ajacent sat. if you could use the 6 foot would be the best better picture quality.

The C/KU LNB will do analog. Any C or KU LNB will do both analog & digital.
You may not get much analog with a 4 footer but its worth a shot. You can get some of the strong transponders on C-Band

hey ice my analog receiver use a servo motor for polarity how would you control the polarity on the bsc621?

[Iceberg]

on the LNBF's (no polorotor option) you need to slave the analog to a DVB box (otherwise it defaults to H only)

I have a ASC421 (same maker as the 621 but C-Band only) I can use my DVB boxes to change polarity and just slave the Toshiba TRX1420 to it. That way I can swaitch from C to KU with no issues on the analog box (except switching it to KU)

cool thank,s ice.
