LNB Choices for C Band Dish

[jsattv]

I'm setting up a 12 foot Bud Dish that came with a Chaparal unit mounted to a Tee-Comm LNB. I am considering a Corotor II +, a BSC 621-2 or possibly Norsat LNB's. What would be a good choice for an LNB, and can a Norsat LNB also be mounted to the CorotorII + how would that work? Would anyone have any pictures re mounting other LNB's to the Corotor II + LNB?

With a feedhorn like a Chaparal CorotorII, you can put virtually any brand LNBs on it. They are all pretty much interchangeable. I've used Norsat, California Amplifier, and Eagle Aspen on mine. (Wouldn't do the Eagle Aspen again, as it only lasted a couple weeks).

I don't think a picture helps much. THey just bolt on, it's pretty obvious. The only issues are whether to use the elbow or not (some lnbs have their own elbow), and whether to leave the plastic film on the lnb.

I used the elbow on mine because of the size of the norsat lnb if you didn't you would never get the cover on the feedhorn.
