FSKU-2V UNIVERSAL TWIN LNB W/TOROIDAL T90 ANTENNA

[asaptks]

I purchased the toroidal antenna and the FSKU-2V Lnbs.
I been trying to get the intelsat 5 @ 97w and the galaxy 10R @ 123w using the Birddog meter but no luck some friends are telling me that maybe this lnb is not been able to work w/this configuration.
anybody have any information about this situation?
the other lnbs are working great.

thank you

I've never used a toroidal dish, so I can't comment on the functionality of the toroidal concept itself, but assuming that the dish is getting the signal to the lnbf, there shouldn't be a problem with compatability of the lnbf. Assuming that what you are referring to as the "other lnbs" are reversed circular lnbfs, the double reflection of the toroid system will reverse a circular polarization signal, but won't affect a linear polarization signal. However, you have to remember that IA5 and G10r are less powerful than the circular DBS sats, so precise alignment is a bit more critical for IA5 and G10r than it is with the DBS sats. I'm guessing that you just need to take more care aiming the dish.

The FSKU-2V LNBs are universal. Make sure you have downloaded the UNIVERSAL files into your Birdog. These files start with a "U-" and are at the bottom of the configure list.
