I bought one of the 6’ from sadoun and I have 2 questions 1 is this to small for C band I have 13 k lnbf digital and a Pansat 2500 fta receiver I can’t get a lock on satellites, 2. what setting of lnb should set the receiver to I think I have 3 choices for c band, I could always use this dish for Ku

What satellites/transpnders are you tring to get a lock on? Is scalar ring on your LNBF set to the correct f/D setting?

LNB setting should be single 5150 (or you can use standard 5150). 6' is borderline minimum for c-band. You should be able to get a good signal on stronger transpondes, but there might be some interference from adjecent satellites.
